What to Do Right Now
Steps to Take Immediately
If you have an active leak or visible storm damage, take these steps first — then call us.
Active Leak
Place a bucket or container to catch dripping water. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the area. If water is near electrical fixtures or outlets, turn off the breaker for that circuit. Do not use a wet vacuum or stand in pooled water near electrical sources.
Storm Damage
Stay inside until the storm passes completely. Do not climb on the roof during severe weather — falling limbs, lightning, and wind make it extremely dangerous. Take photos from a safe distance through windows for your insurance carrier. Note the time and approximate conditions.

Call us at 940.828.ROOF any time, day or night. Someone is always available to answer. We will assess the situation over the phone, advise you on immediate safety steps, and arrange the next step — whether that is temporary protection or a full inspection.
When to Call
Situations We Respond To
Not every roofing problem is an emergency. Here are the situations that call for immediate contact.
Active Interior Leaks
Water dripping from ceilings, running down walls, or pooling in the attic. Active leaks can originate from flashing failures, pipe boot cracks, missing shingles, or ice dams. The visible stain is often not where water enters the roof — water follows the path of least resistance along decking and rafters.
Wind-Torn or Missing Shingles
After a high-wind event, shingles may be lifted, creased, or completely torn away. Exposed underlayment and decking absorb water rapidly. The longer they stay exposed, the more water penetrates into the attic and structure. Temporary tarping prevents further intrusion until permanent repair.
Tree Limb or Debris Impact
Falling limbs, branches, or wind-blown debris can puncture shingles, crack decking, or damage flashing and penetrations. Even if the interior appears dry, the impact may have compromised the waterproofing layer. An inspection confirms whether the damage is cosmetic or structural.
Hail Damage
Large hail can bruise or fracture shingles, displace granules, and crack vents and flashing. While hail damage may not cause an immediate leak, it significantly shortens roof life and creates future leak paths. Documenting hail damage promptly is important for insurance purposes.
Ice Dam Formation
During rare North Texas winter freezes, ice dams can form at eaves and force water under shingles. If you see icicles forming along the gutter line with water backing up behind them, water may be entering through the roof edge. This is an urgent situation that requires attention.
Insurance Carrier Requires Immediate Action
Some policies require policyholders to take reasonable steps to mitigate further damage after a storm. If your carrier has notified you that temporary protection is needed, we can install tarps and document the mitigation work for your claim file.
How We Help
What RoofDog Does After You Call
From the first call through temporary protection, documentation, and repair planning — here is our emergency response process.
Temporary Protection
We install heavy-duty tarps and temporary waterproofing over damaged areas to stop active water intrusion and prevent further damage to your home. Tarping is a short-term solution — it buys time until a permanent repair or replacement can be scheduled.
Damage Assessment
Once conditions are safe, we inspect the roof using drone imagery and document all damage with photos. We identify the entry point for active leaks, assess the extent of storm damage, and determine whether the problem is isolated or widespread.
Repair Planning
We explain what needs to happen next: an emergency repair (targeted fix), a full repair (multiple components), or a replacement. You decide the timeline. We provide a transparent estimate for whatever path you choose.
Insurance Documentation
If the damage is storm-related, we document it in a format your carrier can use — photos, a written scope, and damage location mapping. We can meet your adjuster on-site and walk them through our findings. We do not determine your coverage or guarantee a claim outcome.
Two Phases
Temporary Protection vs. Permanent Repair
Emergency response typically happens in two phases. Understanding the difference helps you know what to expect.
Temporary Protection
What It Is
Tarp installation, temporary sealant, and emergency waterproofing applied to damaged areas.
Timeline
Same-day or next-day depending on conditions and access
Purpose
Stops active water intrusion and prevents further damage while you decide on permanent work
Cost
Typically less expensive than permanent repair. May be included in an insurance claim if the damage is from a covered event.
Permanent Repair
What It Is
Targeted repair of the specific failure: replacing damaged shingles, re-flashing a penetration, or replacing a cracked pipe boot.
Timeline
Scheduled within a few days of the emergency visit
Purpose
Restores the roof to weather-tight condition at the specific failure point
Cost
Varies by scope. We provide an itemized estimate before any work begins.
After the Emergency
The Follow-Up Assessment
Emergency repair stabilizes the situation. Once your home is protected, we schedule a full roof inspection using drone imagery to assess the complete roof — not just the area that was leaking.
The follow-up assessment determines whether the problem was isolated or part of a larger condition. If a targeted repair solves it, we provide an estimate. If the roof has widespread damage or is approaching end of life, we explain why replacement makes more sense — with photo evidence. If storm damage is documented, we help you prepare for the insurance conversation.
