Emergency response

What we do in the first two hours

An active leak in an occupied commercial building is a triage problem, not a roofing problem. The first job is to protect what is under it, inventory, servers, tenant space, food, and to get the water controlled and diverted. The second is to find the actual entry point, which on a flat roof is almost never directly above the drip.

We arrive with membrane patch material, sealant compatible with the system on your roof, and the ability to build a temporary dry-in that holds through the next storm rather than through the next hour. Everything gets photographed before and after, with locations marked on a roof plan, because that record matters for your insurer, your landlord or your warranty holder.

Then we tell you the honest version: whether this is a $600 penetration repair, a section that needs replacing, or a roof that is at end of life and will keep doing this. Priced separately, so you can decide on the emergency work without committing to the capital project.
