The first half hour of a roof emergency
Do these in order. The first two protect people, the last two protect your claim and get a crew moving.
-
Minutes 0 to 5
Make the room safe
Move people and valuables out from under the leak. If water is near an outlet, light fixture or ceiling fan, switch that circuit off at the breaker, but only if the panel is dry and you do not have to stand in water. A ceiling that bulges with water can drop without warning, so keep out from under it.
-
Minutes 5 to 15
Catch the water, do not chase it
Put a bucket under the drip with a towel around it to stop the splash. Water often runs along a rafter before it shows, so the stain is rarely under the hole. Stay off the roof: a wet roof is a fall risk at any hour.
-
Minutes 15 to 25
Photograph it and write down the time
Take dated photos and video of the ceiling, the floor and anything damaged, before you clean up. Write down when you first saw water. Insurers ask for both. In Texas, the insurer has to acknowledge a claim within 15 days (Tex. Ins. Code §542.055(a)(1)), so the clock starts when you report it.
-
Minutes 25 to 30
Call, and ask four things
Ask: is a crew free today, will you tarp first and quote the permanent repair after, what is the dispatch or tarp fee before you drive out, and can you send your license number? For Texas: No statewide roofing license; permit rules are set locally. 21 of the 21 roofers listed for Temple are based in town; 21 are within 25 miles.

A severe Temple hail event can puncture older membrane or create impact fractures that let the next rain through — if you see daylight through a vent or active dripping, emergency patching cannot wait on an insurance timeline. Emergency tarping stops active loss and preserves your insurance claim — documenting damage with photos before any work begins keeps the adjuster scope clean. Availability varies by crew, so ask each contractor how soon they can get on site.
