Emergency Roof Repair & Tarping

Storm damage or an active leak? Rapid response and emergency tarping to stop water entering.

Roof failures do not wait for business hours. A winter storm tears off a section, a tree limb comes through, an ice dam backs water under the shingles and it starts coming through a bedroom ceiling. Luna's Roofing Service PC responds fast across Chicago.

We inspect the damaged area, stop the water, and take action to prevent the problem getting worse. If a permanent repair is not possible in current weather, we install emergency tarping to keep water out until it is.

What To Do While You Wait For Us

  1. Contain the water inside

    Buckets under active drips; move furniture, electronics and documents clear. A deliberate small hole in a bulging ceiling, drained into a bucket, is far better than the whole ceiling coming down at once.

  2. Cut power to the affected area

    If water is anywhere near light fixtures, fans or outlets, switch off that circuit at the breaker before going near it.

  3. Photograph everything

    Photos and video of the damage inside and out, before anything is moved or cleaned. Your insurer will want it, and so will we.

  4. Stay off the roof

    A wet, storm-damaged or icy Chicago roof is genuinely dangerous, and walking on it usually makes the damage worse. Let us assess it.

Emergency Tarping

When it is actively raining or snowing, or the roof is too damaged to repair immediately, tarping stops the bleeding. We install heavy-duty tarps secured properly at the edges and battened down so they survive continued wind — not the loose plastic sheeting that tears free overnight. It is a temporary measure, but done correctly it protects your interior, insulation and drywall until a permanent repair is possible.

Common Emergency Calls

Emergency Roof Repair — Frequently Asked Questions

We respond to emergency calls as fast as we safely can and prioritise active water intrusion over scheduled work. Call (773) 418-2040 or (815) 995-7663 and describe the situation — if we cannot get a crew out immediately we will say so honestly and walk you through interim steps.

Most homeowner policies cover reasonable emergency mitigation, because an insurer would far rather pay for a tarp than a ruined interior. Keep every receipt and photograph the damage before and after.

A properly installed tarp holds for weeks, not months. UV and wind degrade it, and every storm works at the fasteners. Treat it as a bridge to a permanent repair.
