Emergency roof repair · Toronto & the GTA

Roof leaking right now? Call us.

We take emergency leak calls across the GTA outside our normal hours, including Sundays and holidays. We stop the water first, then quote the real repair in writing.

While you wait

What to do in the next 30 minutes

Safety first, water second, diagnosis third. The repair comes after all of that.

  1. Turn off power near the leak. If water is near a light, pot light, fan or panel, switch that circuit off at the breaker before you put a bucket under it.
  2. Contain the water. Buckets and towels. If the ceiling is bulging, put a bucket under it and pierce the lowest point so it drains in a stream you control.
  3. Photograph everything. The drip, the stain, wet insulation and damaged contents. Insurers assess what they can see. Keep receipts.
  4. Stay off the roof. Wet shingles are dangerous and a badly nailed tarp makes things worse. That part is our job.
  5. Call (416) 999-9706. Tell us where the water is showing and what the roof is — shingle, flat, or skylight.

How we handle it

Stop the water tonight. Fix the cause properly.

1. Dry-in

On the emergency visit we seal the entry point or tarp the roof correctly — anchored with battens over the ridge, not nailed through good shingles. It is a short-term dry-in, not the repair.

2. Trace the real cause

We come back in daylight. Water travels along the deck and rafters before it shows, so the leak is rarely right above the stain. Most GTA leaks are flashing — chimneys, valleys, wall junctions, stacks and skylight curbs.

3. Written quote

You get the permanent repair in writing. If the roof is near the end of its life we say so instead of selling you a patch — and you can price a full replacement yourself in the free quote tool.

Why it can't wait

The clock is 24 to 48 hours

Wet building materials need to dry within 24 to 48 hours or mould becomes the next problem. A flashing repair booked this week is a very different job from drywall, insulation and remediation three weeks from now.

Questions

Emergency repair, answered

Do you really come out after hours?

Yes. Emergency leak calls are the exception to our normal hours (Mon–Fri 8–6, Sat 8–12). We take them across the GTA in the evening, on Sundays and on public holidays. Call (416) 999-9706.

What do you do on an emergency visit?

We stop the water first — dry-in the entry point or tarp it properly, anchored with battens rather than nailed through good shingles. Then we come back in daylight to trace the real cause and give you a written quote for the permanent repair.

Should I go on the roof and tarp it myself?

No. A wet roof is one of the most dangerous surfaces on a house, and a tarp nailed straight through the shingles can turn one leak into a dozen. Stay inside: turn off power near the leak, contain the water, and photograph everything.

Will my insurance cover the leak?

Ontario policies usually cover sudden and accidental damage, such as wind tearing shingles off in a storm, and the interior damage that follows. Gradual leaks from worn flashing are usually excluded. Keep receipts for emergency work — mitigation costs are often reimbursable.
