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. Bartlett Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Bartlett for 18 years.
Ice dam emergencies happen in IL winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Bartlett 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
You call, we respond. Tell us what happened and we'll have a crew headed your way. Active leaks and exposed deck get priority dispatch. We carry tarps, sealant, and repair materials on every truck.
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 โ location, type, and severity of each damaged component.
Permanent Repair Scheduled
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.
