Pacific Northwest weather can be unpredictable, and Snohomish County homeowners know that storms can cause sudden roof damage. When you're facing a roofing emergency, knowing what steps to take can save you thousands in additional damage and protect your family's safety.

Tree damage from winter storms is one of the most frequent emergency calls we receive in Snohomish County. High winds can cause branches to puncture roofing materials, creating immediate leaks. Missing shingles after severe weather expose your home's underlayment to rain and moisture.

Ice dams during cold snaps can cause water to back up under shingles, leading to interior damage. Flash flooding can overwhelm gutters and cause water to pool on flat roof sections. Each of these situations requires immediate professional attention to prevent escalating damage.

Safety is your first priority during any roofing emergency. Never attempt to climb on a wet or damaged roof. If water is entering your home, place buckets to catch drips and move valuable items away from affected areas.

Take photos of visible damage for insurance documentation, but only from ground level. Cover any interior areas where water might be entering with plastic sheeting. If you have a tarp, you can carefully place it over small damaged areas from inside your attic, but avoid going on the roof itself.

Attempting DIY repairs during emergencies often leads to more extensive damage. Professional roofers have the safety equipment and expertise to assess damage properly, even in challenging weather conditions. We carry emergency materials and can provide temporary solutions that protect your home until permanent repairs can be completed.

Our emergency response team understands Snohomish County's unique weather patterns and building codes. We work directly with insurance companies to ensure your claim is documented properly and processed efficiently.

Regular roof inspections can identify potential weak points before they become emergencies. We recommend having your roof professionally inspected twice yearly and after any major storm. Keeping gutters clean and ensuring proper attic ventilation also reduces emergency risk.

Trimming tree branches that hang over your roof eliminates one of the most common causes of storm damage. Installing wind-resistant shingles during replacement projects provides extra protection against Snohomish County's seasonal windstorms.
