Emergency Contractor Help

Roof Leak / Storm Damage

Water entering through the roof during or after a storm — needing fast assessment and repair.

Call 727-312-9947 Send Emergency Request

For fire, suspected gas leaks, immediate electrical or fire hazards, medical emergencies, or any situation threatening life or safety, call 911 or the appropriate utility/emergency authority first. TBCRN is a contractor referral service and not an emergency response agency.

A roof leak allows water into your home, which can damage ceilings, walls, insulation, and electrical systems. In Tampa Bay, roof leaks often follow storms and hurricane-force winds. If water is entering, contain it with buckets and move valuables, then contact a roofing professional. TBCRN can priority-route your request to an available roofer.

Immediate Steps to Take Now

Place buckets or tarps to contain water entering the home

Move furniture and electronics away from the leak area

If water is near electrical fixtures, turn off power to that area at the breaker

Take photos of the damage for insurance documentation

Check the attic for additional leaks or structural concerns

What NOT to Do

Do not climb on the roof during a storm or in the dark

Do not attempt to repair a roof if you are not experienced

Do not ignore a small leak — water damage and mold develop quickly in Florida's humidity
