Every hour a damaged roof sits exposed, the damage spreads. Water reaches the underlayment, soaks the sheathing, wets the insulation, and stains the ceiling. A $500 repair becomes a $5,000 repair. Gratiot Roofing & Maintenance's emergency crew stops the progression by tarping and sealing the same day you call.
Ice dam emergencies happen in OH winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Gratiot 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
Emergency Call
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 Gratiot.
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.
Damage Assessment
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Permanent Repair Scheduled
The permanent fix restores your roof to full protection. All emergency patches removed and replaced with permanent materials. Damaged shingles, flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots replaced. Underlayment and decking repaired or replaced as needed.
