How fast can you actually get here?

Same day across Central Indiana for active water intrusion. Call and you will get a realistic window, not a "we'll try."

Do you charge for emergency tarping?

There is a cost, and it is generally claimable as mitigation. You get the number before any work starts — no surprise invoices.

It is the middle of the night. Should I still call?

Yes. Water does not wait for business hours and neither does the damage it causes.

Can I just tarp it myself?

Not from the roof. Storm-damaged roofs are slick and structurally unpredictable, and a tarp that is weighted rather than fastened blows off in the next gust. Do the interior steps above and leave the roof alone.

Will a tarp hold until the roof is replaced?

A properly fastened tarp holds for weeks, not days. It is a bridge to the permanent repair, not a substitute for it.

Do you do emergency work on commercial buildings?

Yes — offices, warehouses, restaurants, churches, healthcare, schools, retail and shopping plazas.

Do you work outside Indianapolis?

Yes — 21 cities across Central Indiana including Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Avon, Plainfield, Greenwood and Zionsville.

📢

If you are not sure, call anyway. It costs nothing to ask, and waiting until morning is how a roof repair becomes a drywall, insulation and flooring repair.

Before anyone arrives

Get people and pets out from under it

A sagging ceiling holding water can come down all at once.

Cut power to the affected area

Kill it at the breaker if water is anywhere near lights, outlets or fixtures.

Move what you can

Furniture, electronics, documents — out of the room, not just to one side.

Put a bucket under it

And a bin bag over what you cannot move.

Photograph everything

Wide shots of the room, close shots of the damage, and the water while it is actively coming in. This is claim evidence and it is gone once it dries.

Do not go on the roof

Wet, storm-damaged roofs are how people get badly hurt. Whatever is up there can wait for someone with fall protection.
