Emergency Roof Repair in Los Angeles County

What to do in the first hour

Move furniture and electronics out from under the drip. Put a bucket down. If the ceiling bulges, poke a small hole at the low point with a screwdriver and let it drain into the bucket. A controlled hole beats a collapsed ceiling.

Take photos and a short video of every wet spot with the date visible. Insurance work goes faster with a record from the first hour.

What a crew does at night

A night call is a tarp and a temporary seal. The crew finds the entry point, dries what they can, sets a tarp with battens rather than loose weights, and seals the obvious hole.

Loose sandbags on plastic blow off in the first Santa Ana gust. A tarp screwed to battens stays.

Watch out after a storm

Crews from out of state follow weather news into Los Angeles. Some are good. Some collect a deposit and vanish. Ask for the California license number and check it on the state board site before money moves.

Never pay more than ten percent or a thousand dollars as a deposit, whichever is less. That is state law here.
