What We Do in the First Hours
On arrival, we locate the active breach before placing any cover material. Placing tarps or cover boards over the wrong area does not stop the water entry and delays the permanent repair. We walk the roof in rain gear if necessary, identify the water travel path from interior stain to roof surface breach, and execute a targeted dry-in at the confirmed location.
Dry-in methods depend on the membrane type, the breach size, and the weather conditions at the time. On TPO and EPDM roofs, we use manufacturer-compatible peel-and-stick patches or pre-cut membrane panels with contact adhesive. On modified bitumen roofs, cold-process adhesive and mineral-surface cap sheet patches. For large breaches or structural damage - as can occur after a hail event severe enough to penetrate the membrane and insulation - we install cover boards over the affected area and seal the perimeter.
After the dry-in is confirmed stable, we document the breach location, the dry-in method, and the materials used with photos. This documentation is the starting point for the permanent repair scope, which we produce within 24 to 48 hours of the emergency call.
