Stopping active leaks in 60 minutes or less. The Bay Area's trusted authority for storm damage mitigation, structural stabilization, and forensic insurance documentation.
Critical advice for active roof failures during heavy rain.
If the ceiling is sagging, move all high-value items and furniture immediately. Structural failure can happen without warning.
Carefully poke a small hole in the center of the ceiling bulge to drain water into a bucket, preventing the entire drywall sheet from collapsing.
If water is near light fixtures or outlets, turn off the relevant circuit breakers to prevent electrical fires.
Contact 650-666-5554. Do not attempt to climb the roof yourself while it is raining or windy.
Stopping the flow is just the beginning. We perform full forensic stabilization to protect your equity.
Standard blue tarps shred in SF winds. We use high-denier reinforced membranes and mechanical securement with furring strips to create a wind-resistant seal.
Using advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging, we pinpoint exact entry points—often failed flashings or wind-lifted shingles—for surgical remediation.
We provide the adjuster-ready photo documentation required for Date of Loss verification, ensuring your emergency costs are fully covered by insurance.
