Every hour a damaged roof sits exposed, the damage spreads. Water reaches the underlayment, soaks the sheathing, wets the insulation, and stains the ceiling. A $500 repair becomes a $5,000 repair. Urbandale Roofing & Maintenance's emergency crew stops the progression by tarping and sealing the same day you call.
Ice dam emergencies happen in IA winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Urbandale 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
Rapid Response
Call (877) 586-1316 and describe the situation. Active leak, storm damage, fallen debris, collapsed section — we triage over the phone and dispatch a crew. Same-day response for active emergencies in Urbandale.
Stop the Water
Emergency tarping and sealing. We cover exposed sheathing, plug active leak points, and remove any debris that could cause additional damage. The goal is containment — stop the water, stabilize the damage.
Scope of Damage
Full inspection of the damage zone and surrounding area. Storm damage often extends beyond the obvious — we check for loosened flashing, cracked shingles, and compromised sealant that may not be visible but will fail in the next storm.
Fix It Right
The permanent fix restores your roof to full protection. All emergency patches removed and replaced with permanent materials. Damaged shingles, flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots replaced. Underlayment and decking repaired or replaced as needed.
