What Counts as a Roofing Emergency

Active water intrusion — drips, streams, or spreading stains during/after rain
Wind blow-off — sections of shingles or ridge caps torn away, decking exposed
Fallen debris — tree limbs or branches through the roof surface
Partial collapse or sagging — any structural deformation, get out from under it and call

If you're unsure, treat it as urgent. A roofer can triage by phone in two minutes — that call is free, and waiting is not.
