Emergency roof repair is about containment first, permanent fix second. We secure the exposed area with a tarp or emergency sealant to stop active water intrusion. Then we assess the full extent of damage and schedule the permanent repair. Markham Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Markham for 14 years.
Ice dam emergencies happen in IL winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Markham Roofing & Maintenance removes the ice dam, installs emergency ice-and-water shield where possible, and schedules a permanent fix with proper eave protection for next winter.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Emergency Call
Call (877) 586-1316 and describe the situation. Active leak, storm damage, fallen debris, collapsed section — we triage over the phone and dispatch a crew. Same-day response for active emergencies in Markham.
Emergency Seal
Emergency tarping and sealing. We cover exposed sheathing, plug active leak points, and remove any debris that could cause additional damage. The goal is containment — stop the water, stabilize the damage.
Scope of Damage
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Fix It Right
Permanent repair plan delivered with your insurance documentation. We replace every damaged component — shingles, underlayment, flashing, sheathing — to restore your roof to pre-damage condition. No patches, no shortcuts.
