Emergency Roof Repairs & Leak Detection
When water's coming through your ceiling, you need someone who can respond fast and fix the problem properly — not just throw a tarp over it.
About This Service
Otago weather doesn't give you much warning. A southerly storm, heavy hail, or a sudden downpour can turn a minor roof issue into an interior disaster overnight. We offer fast-response emergency roof repairs to get your home dry and protected.
The first step is always finding the source. Roof leaks are often deceptive — water can travel along the underside of roofing steel, down battens, and across framing before it shows up on your ceiling. We trace the leak back to its actual entry point, which means we fix the real problem, not just the visible symptom.
Common emergency repairs include replacing lifted or damaged roofing sheets, re-sealing failed flashings, clearing blocked valleys, and temporary waterproofing of larger damaged areas until a permanent repair can be made.
After the immediate fix, we'll give you a written report on what caused the leak, what we did to stop it, and whether any further work is recommended. If the damage suggests your roof is nearing end of life, we'll discuss replacement options honestly — we don't push unnecessary work, but we won't pretend a patch will solve a systemic problem.
