What NOT to Do During a Roof Emergency
Never Climb on Damaged Roofs
Damaged roofing materials are unstable and extremely dangerous. Wet conditions, loose shingles, and structural damage create fall hazards. Wait for professional assessment and repair.
Don't Use Temporary Fixes
Duct tape, plastic sheets, and DIY patches often fail and can cause more damage. Improper temporary repairs may void insurance coverage and create liability issues.
Avoid Electrical Hazards
Water and electricity are deadly combinations. Turn off power to affected areas immediately and never enter areas with standing water near electrical outlets or fixtures.
Don't Delay Professional Help
Emergency roof damage worsens rapidly. Delaying professional intervention increases repair costs exponentially and may result in total roof replacement instead of repairs.
