Emergency roof repair is about containment first, permanent fix second. We secure the exposed area with a tarp or emergency sealant to stop active water intrusion. Then we assess the full extent of damage and schedule the permanent repair. Reader Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Reader for 17 years.
Ice dam emergencies happen in WV winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Reader Roofing & Maintenance removes the ice dam, installs emergency ice-and-water shield where possible, and schedules a permanent fix with proper eave protection for next winter.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Call Us Now
Call (877) 586-1316 and describe the situation. Active leak, storm damage, fallen debris, collapsed section — we triage over the phone and dispatch a crew. Same-day response for active emergencies in Reader.
Stop the Water
Poly tarps secured with 2x4 battens and cap nails over all exposed areas. Active leak points sealed with roofing sealant. Loose or hanging shingles, flashing, and debris removed to prevent further damage in the next rain.
Full Inspection
With the emergency contained, we inspect the full extent of damage. Shingles, underlayment, roof deck, flashing, gutters, fascia, and soffit. We document everything with photos for your insurance claim — location, type, and severity of each damaged component.
Fix It Right
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
