24/7 Emergency Roof Damage Storm Response in The Woodlands

Residents of The Woodlands are no strangers to severe weather events and the damage they can wreak. As a local homeowner, you may have already realized that many companies that say they are “available 24/7” may not be accurately representing their actual level of responsiveness.


When we say 24/7, we don’t mean we’ll just forward your call to an answering service where you will speak to a call center employee who can schedule a repair estimate sometime during the next week. We mean that we have an actual team of emergency roof repair specialists who are on call 24/7 to respond to roof storm damage when it occurs.

stopping water damage is our highest priority

There are several reasons why calling for emergency roof patching is vital if you discover a significant leak or a tree, branch or other debris fell on your roof and caused damage during a storm. Maybe most obviously and importantly, the sooner you can stop the water intrusion, the less damage will be done and the easier it will be to dry out the area and minimize repair costs.


Limiting the extent of water damage is particularly important in places like Houston, where high humidity and slow drying of building materials and personal belongings can create the ideal breeding ground for mold and other fungi.


Emergency patching can also greatly reduce future headaches and repair expenses that may arise if water damage is allowed to spread throughout the day or night. This may result in the need to tear out drywall and flooring, throw away furniture or personal belongings and pay out of pocket for expensive repairs and home replacement.

what about insurance claims?

Homeowners insurance typically won’t cover flooding from natural ground-up water sources, meaning things like overflowing rivers, storm surge from a hurricane or flooding caused by heavy rains. It should cover damage from roof leaks or rain that enters your home via roof damage or broken windows caused by debris or falling trees.


That being said, things can get more complicated if you don’t act quickly to stop water intrusion and minimize damage. As a homeowner, you do have an obligation to take appropriate steps to prevent unnecessary damage from occurring or worsening.


Having roof damage temporarily patched with tarps will show the insurance company you did what you could to minimize the cost of the damage. Be sure to keep all temporary repair receipts because your insurance should cover any costs you incurred to perform temporary patching, in addition to the cost of permanent repairs.


Working with experienced roofers who will document the damage, like the emergency storm response team at Perkins Roofing, can also help with your eventual roof damage claim.
