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. Lower Salem Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Lower Salem for 24 years.
Ice dam emergencies happen in OH winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Lower Salem 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.
