What Counts as a Roofing Emergency

• Active interior leak — water dripping or running during or after rain, sagging or bulging ceiling drywall
• Storm damage — membrane lifted or torn by wind, coping stones or flashing blown off a parapet
• Backed-up drainage — clogged drain or scupper turning your flat roof into a pool during heavy rain
• Sudden ponding over a living space — especially on older roofs where deck sag is visible from below
• Damage from adjacent work — contractors, HVAC installs, or a neighbor’s roof job that punctured your membrane

If you’re not sure it’s an emergency, call anyway — two minutes on the phone with someone who repairs flat roofs every week beats a night of guessing with buckets.

What We Do on an Emergency Call

1. Stop the water. Emergency tarping, temporary membrane patching, or drain/scupper clearing — whatever stops active intrusion fastest.
2. Trace the leak at the source. Water travels along the roof deck before it drips. We find the actual entry point on the roof, photograph it, and show you.
3. Protect the interior. We help you limit ceiling and wall damage until the permanent repair.
4. Written repair plan. A line-item estimate for the permanent fix — heat-welded torch-down patch, parapet re-flashing, drain replacement, or, if the roof is beyond patching, honest replacement options. No 2 a.m. upselling.

While You Wait for Us

• Move belongings and electronics away from the drip zone; put down buckets and towels.
• If a ceiling is bulging with trapped water, place a bucket underneath and poke a small hole with a screwdriver to drain it in a controlled spot — a controlled drip beats a collapsed ceiling.
• Kill power to affected light fixtures at the breaker if water is near them.
• Don’t go on a wet flat roof. Wet membrane is slick, parapets hide soft spots, and a night-time fall is worse than any leak.
• Photograph everything for your insurance claim — we’ll document the roof side for you.

Why Hudson County Calls Gaby Roofing First

We’re a flat-roof specialist based at 4404 Kennedy Blvd in Union City — not a franchise dispatching from another county. Emergency calls go to the same crew that installs our torch-down and silicone systems, led by an owner with 23+ years on Hudson County’s row homes, brownstones, and multifamilies. 155+ Google reviews, 4.9 stars. NJ HIC #13VH11705800, insured and bonded.

And because we’re the ones who’ll quote the permanent repair, the temporary fix is done with the permanent one in mind — a proper tarp and patch, not a bucket of roof cement over the problem that has to be scraped off later.

Emergency Roof Repair FAQ

How fast can you get here?

We’re based in Union City, so most of Hudson County is minutes away. Response time depends on conditions and call volume during storms — call 201-638-8556 and we’ll give you a real ETA, not a promise we can’t keep.

How much does an emergency call cost?

Emergency stabilization (tarping, temporary patching) is priced by scope and quoted before we start work. The permanent repair gets a written line-item estimate. If we end up doing the permanent repair, the emergency visit isn’t a wasted spend — the diagnosis is already done.

Will insurance cover my roof leak?

Storm and sudden-event damage is often covered; gradual wear usually isn’t. We photograph and document the damage from the roof side, which is the evidence adjusters actually want. We’re roofers, not insurance advisors — but our documentation has helped plenty of claims.

Can you permanently fix the roof the same night?

Usually not — torch-down repairs need a dry membrane to weld correctly, and doing it wet guarantees a callback. We stop the water immediately, then return for the permanent heat-welded repair as soon as the roof is dry. See flat roof repair for how the permanent fix works.
