Roofing emergencies happen all the time – even
the strongest, best-kept metal roof can be damaged by a strong storm and a large,
falling tree limb can break even properly maintained roofs. When damage happens,
you probably need a way to remedy it or, at least, to mitigate it as soon as
possible, so here are a few things that you can do in case of a roofing
emergency:
-
Things to do if some of your
tiles or shingles have been torn off – if torn off roof covering causes leaks,
you will have to collect the water coming from the ceiling, then assess the
damage when the storm is over and take care of the replacement of the damaged
or missing components;
-
Cover the damaged area in case
of extensive damage –the most important things to do in case of a roofing
emergency is to minimize the damage and to prevent further damage. If the
damage was caused by a storm and there is a likelihood of more storms in the
nearby future, it is a good idea to cover the damaged area with some foil to
prevent further damage, preserving the area until your professional metal roofing Orlando contractor
arrives.
