Emergency Roof Leak Repair
A leak is urgent. Panic isn't. We answer 7 days a week and prioritize active leaks during rain — here's exactly what happens when you call.
Active leak? Start here
7 days a week. Same-day response during rain events. For crew safety we don't work rooftops during active high wind — we dry in between storm bands.
What Counts As An Emergency
Water is coming in now
Ceiling drips, wet walls, water over a light fixture.
The roof took damage
Wind-lifted sections, fallen branches, missing tile or shingle.
It will rain before repairs can happen
A known weak point and a storm in the forecast.

These are scheduling priorities, not guarantees — when a storm is over the whole city, we triage active leaks first.
This list is where the crews already work, not a fence around them — we travel across Southern California. If your city isn't named here, call and ask. We'll tell you straight whether we can get to you.
Temporary Dry-In (Tarp-Over)
When rain is coming faster than a permanent repair can, we dry in the damage: reinforced tarp or membrane, mechanically fastened and lapped so water sheds off it. Done right, the protection is measured in weeks, not hours — a bridge to the permanent repair. The water stops today, and the scope gets written calmly.
Mechanically secured
Reinforced tarp or membrane fastened to sound framing, edges lapped so water sheds off it — never just weighted down.
Weeks, not hours
A correct dry-in holds through full rain events while the permanent repair is scheduled and priced.
A bridge to the repair
Every dry-in leaves with a written scope for the permanent fix — you decide the timeline in dry weather.
Documented
Photos of the damage and the completed dry-in go in your file — for your records and, if you choose to involve them, your insurer's.
About insurance
Emergency mitigation is often a covered “reasonable and necessary” expense under many homeowner policies — most policies expect you to prevent further damage after a loss. We photograph the damage and the dry-in and put the scope in writing, so your records are complete. Silver Leaf does not file, negotiate, or settle insurance claims — that's you, your insurer, or a DOI-licensed public adjuster.
If You're Mid-Storm Right Now
Contain the water
Buckets and towels where it lands. If water is pooling over a light fixture, switch that circuit off at the breaker.
Move what's under it
Furniture, rugs, electronics — anything that soaks or stains slides a few feet sideways.
Photograph from the ground
Do not climb. A wet roof is not worth the risk, and ground-level photos are enough for our crew and your records.
Then call us
(661) 312-0216 — 7 days a week. Describe what you see, and we'll tell you exactly what happens next.
Emergency Questions, Answered
No — contain the water and leave the roof alone. Put buckets or towels where the water lands, move anything that can soak or stain, and take photos from the ground if it is safe to step outside. Do not climb on a wet roof. Call (661) 312-0216, describe what you see, and we take it from there.
Emergency mitigation — stopping active damage with a temporary dry-in — is often a covered, reasonable and necessary expense under many homeowner policies, and most policies expect you to prevent further damage after a loss. What your specific policy covers is between you and your insurer. Our part is documentation: we photograph the damage and the dry-in, put the repair scope in writing, and can meet your adjuster on-site to explain what we found. Silver Leaf does not file, negotiate, or settle insurance claims — that's you, your insurer, or a DOI-licensed public adjuster.
Yes — we answer 7 days a week and schedule active leaks same-day during rain events. The one limit is crew safety: we don't put people on rooftops in active high wind. Los Angeles storms arrive in bands, so we dry in between them — which is also when a tarp-over actually seals. Interior containment and leak tracing can start in almost any weather.
Call the same number — (661) 312-0216. Water showing up at a window, under a deck, or on a ceiling near an exterior wall often isn't the roof at all. We do waterproofing as well as roofing, so the same crew traces where the water actually enters and dries in balconies, exterior walls, and below-grade spaces — not just rooflines.
If the water is showing up below the roofline — a balcony, a deck, an exterior wall — see how we handle waterproofing. Same crew, same number.

If Water Is Coming In, Call Now
7 days a week. Active leaks go to the front of the schedule during rain events, and you'll hear on the call what happens next — there is no form to fill out first.
If It Can Wait,
Not every leak is an emergency. If the ceiling is dry and the storm has passed, send us the details instead — estimates are free, and the scope arrives in writing.
