Large sections of shingles blown off, exposing underlayment or decking to water. Emergency re-covering and shingle replacement.

Your Action Plan

What to Do During a Roof Emergency

Stay Safe & Contain

Move away from damaged areas. If water is near electrical outlets or fixtures, turn off the breaker. Place buckets under active drips and move valuables.

Document Everything

Take photos and videos of all visible damage — interior water stains, exterior shingle damage, fallen debris. This documentation is critical for your insurance claim.

Common Questions

Emergency Roofing FAQs

What qualifies as a roofing emergency in Pittsburgh?

A roofing emergency is any situation where your home is actively exposed to water intrusion or structural risk. This includes: active roof leaks during rain, missing large sections of shingles after a storm, tree or debris impact on the roof, visible structural sagging, significant wind damage exposing underlayment or decking, and ice dam damage in winter. If water is entering your home or the roof structure is compromised, call Pittsabana immediately at (412) 580-6567.

How quickly does Pittsabana respond to roofing emergencies?

Pittsabana dispatches emergency crews within hours of your call — typically the same day, weather permitting. Our 24/7 hotline connects you to a real person at any time, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Initial emergency tarping and leak containment are always prioritized to prevent further damage to your home's interior and structure.

Does homeowner's insurance cover emergency roof work in Pittsburgh?

Yes. Most homeowner's insurance policies in Pennsylvania cover sudden and accidental roof damage caused by storms, fallen trees, hail, and high winds. Emergency tarping is typically covered as a 'loss mitigation' expense. Pittsabana works directly with your insurance company to document all damage, prepare the scope of work, and ensure your claim is properly handled — at no additional cost to you.

What should I do while waiting for emergency roof help?

First, ensure everyone's safety — stay away from damaged areas and turn off electrical breakers near water intrusion. Place buckets under active leaks and move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from water. Take photos and videos of all visible damage (interior and exterior) for insurance documentation. Do NOT attempt to climb on the roof yourself. Call Pittsabana at (412) 580-6567 and we'll guide you through next steps.

Do I pay upfront for emergency roofing in Pittsburgh?

For insured storm damage, there is typically no upfront cost once your claim is approved. Pittsabana handles insurance coordination and receives payment directly from your insurer (minus your deductible). For non-insurance emergency work, we provide a transparent estimate before any work begins. We also offer Hearth financing for non-covered situations.

What types of storm damage does Pittsabana handle?

Pittsabana handles all types of storm-related roof damage: wind-lifted or missing shingles, hail impact damage, fallen tree and branch removal, ice dam emergencies, lightning strikes, structural damage from heavy snow loads, and water intrusion from any cause. We serve 40+ communities across 5 counties in the greater Pittsburgh area.

Can storm damage be invisible from the ground?

Yes — and this is critically important for Pittsburgh homeowners to understand. Hail impacts can crack the fiberglass mat beneath shingle granules without visible surface damage. Wind can break shingle adhesive seals without tearing tabs off. These 'invisible' damage points leak months later, causing interior damage that's far more expensive to fix. A professional post-storm inspection from Pittsabana catches this hidden damage while it's still eligible for insurance coverage.
