What Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair Includes
Every storm leak job starts with the same core scope: find the breach, stop the water, document the damage and rebuild the assembly to code. Here is what is covered on a standard call, and what we quote separately when the damage runs deeper than the surface.
Emergency Tarp and Dry-In
We tarp and fasten the breach with reinforced tarps and fasteners the same day, usually within 2 to 4 hours of your call. That stops interior damage while materials are ordered and the permanent repair is scheduled.
Flashing and Pipe Boot Repair
We replace failed flashing at walls, valleys and chimneys and swap cracked pipe boots, resealing with Henry Company or Sika products rated for Florida UV and heat. Most of these repairs take 2 to 4 hours.
Shingle, Tile, Metal or Flat Repair
Damaged shingles are replaced with matching GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed material. Tile is lifted and re-set over new underlayment. Metal fasteners and seams are resealed. TPO membrane is patched with Carlisle SynTec product.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph every damaged component, measure the repair area and write the scope in the format Florida adjusters expect. You get the full file the same day the inspection is done, ready to send to your insurer.
Water Test and Walkthrough
We run a water test on the repaired section, re-check the attic and walk you through what was done. You leave with the photo file, material list and a written workmanship warranty.
What Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair in Florida Really Involves
Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair in Florida is the emergency and permanent repair of roof leaks caused by hurricanes, tropical storms, hail and 60 mph wind gusts. It starts with finding the actual breach, not just the wet ceiling stain. We use a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera to trace water back to failed flashing, a cracked pipe boot or lifted shingles, then tarp the opening, dry the deck and rebuild the assembly with new underlayment, flashing and sealant rated for Florida's heat and rain load.
Florida roofs take a beating no other state matches. Salt air eats fasteners along the coast, afternoon thunderstorms dump two inches in an hour, and hurricane season runs June through November. After a storm, most homeowners call us because water is dripping into a bedroom or running down a wall. We handle hurricane roof leak repair Florida jobs daily, from a single shingle roof leak to full tile roof leaks after a named storm, and we document everything for your insurance claim.
What to Expect From Call to Dry-In
Five steps, no mystery. Here is exactly how a storm roof repair Florida job runs from your first call to the final walkthrough.

Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
03
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
04
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Storm Leak
Tools & Equipment
Moisture Meter
Reads water content in decking, insulation and drywall so we know how far the leak has traveled before we open anything up.
Infrared Thermal Camera
Shows temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture behind ceilings and inside wall cavities, so we trace the leak to its source.
Roof Inspection Drone
Flies over steep tile and metal sections we cannot safely walk, capturing high-resolution photos of storm damage for your insurance file.
Ladder and Harness
OSHA-compliant fall protection for every roof walk. Our crews are trained and certified to work steep-slope roofs safely.
Pitch Hoist
Lifts shingle bundles and tile to the roof without damaging the field, so materials arrive at the work area intact.
Roofing Nail Gun
Sets fasteners to the correct depth and pattern so the repair meets Florida Building Code uplift requirements.
Caulking Gun and Tarp Fasteners
Applies Henry Company and Sika sealants at flashing and penetrations, and secures reinforced tarps during emergency dry-in.
Methods & Standards
Moisture Mapping
We map water content across the deck and attic with a moisture meter and thermal camera before we touch the roof. That tells us exactly where the breach is, so we repair the cause instead of replacing shingles until the drip stops.
Florida Building Code Compliance
Every repair is built to Florida Building Code wind and uplift standards, using materials rated for the local wind zone. That matters when your insurer asks whether the repair meets code and when the next storm hits.
Manufacturer-Spec Installation
We follow GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed installation specs on shingle repairs and Carlisle SynTec specs on TPO membrane. That keeps your roof warranty intact and the repair compatible with the rest of the assembly.
Water Testing
After the repair, we run a controlled water test on the fixed section and re-check the attic. If any moisture shows up, we keep working until it is dry. No repair is closed out until it passes.
When to Call for Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair
01
A named hurricane passed through last night and water is dripping from a ceiling light fixture.
What we do: We treat this as an emergency, dispatch the closest crew and tarp the breach within 2 to 4 hours. The inspector traces the leak with a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera, then schedules the permanent repair.
→ Water stops the same day, interior damage is limited, and you have photos and a scope ready for your insurance claim.
02
You found missing shingles after a 60 mph gust line but no water is coming in yet.
What we do: We inspect the roof, replace the missing courses, check the surrounding field for lifted shingles and reseal exposed fasteners. Most of these repairs run 2 to 4 hours and are done in one visit.
→ The roof is sealed before the next rain band, and you avoid the interior damage a small breach causes.
03
Your tile roof looks intact but a bedroom ceiling stain appeared after the storm.
What we do: We lift tile in the suspect area, find the torn underlayment, replace it and re-set the field with matching pieces. We water-test the repair before closing it up.
→ The hidden leak is fixed at the source instead of patched from below, and the tile field matches the rest of the roof.
04
Your flat roof ponded water during the storm and now the seam is leaking into the building.
What we do: We locate the breach, patch or replace the TPO membrane section with Carlisle SynTec material and reseal the edge. We check drainage so the next storm does not pond in the same spot.
→ The seam holds through the next rain, and the flat roof drains the way it should.
How Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair Runs in Florida
Florida is not one climate, it is several. Coastal roofs from Clearwater Beach to Cape Canaveral fight salt air that corrodes fasteners and cracks pipe boots years early. Inland roofs around Apopka and Altamonte Springs bake at 95 degrees in July and take hail in the spring. South Florida gets the worst of hurricane season, and the Panhandle catches Gulf landfalls that never make the Miami news. We build every repair for the zone it sits in, using GAF and Owens Corning shingles rated for the local wind speed and Carlisle SynTec TPO membrane on flat roofs that pond water. After a named storm, the biggest bottleneck is adjuster scheduling, so we document damage the day we inspect and hand you a scope ready for your claim. If you are searching for affordable Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair in Florida after hurricane season, the answer is a crew that tarps first, repairs to code and writes the paperwork the same day.
Neighborhoods We Serve
-
Barrier islands and beachfront
Salt spray and wind-driven rain hit these roofs hardest, so we check every fastener and pipe boot for corrosion before we close the repair.
-
Inland lake country
Afternoon thunderstorms drop heavy rain fast, and tree limbs are the most common cause of shingle and flashing damage here.
-
Older downtown districts
Aging roofs with original flashing and pipe boots fail first in a storm, so we inspect the whole assembly, not just the visible breach.
-
Newer master-planned subdivisions
Builder-grade pipe boots and flashing often fail within 10 years, and one storm can push several neighbors onto the same repair list.
Local Conditions We Plan For
-
Salt-air corrosion on coastal roofs
Fasteners and pipe boots fail years earlier than inland, so we replace rather than reseal corroded components on every coastal repair.
-
Hurricane season from June through November
Demand spikes after every named storm, so we run 24/7 dispatch and prioritize tarping to stop interior damage while repairs are scheduled.
-
Afternoon thunderstorms with 2-inch rain rates
A small breach can flood an attic in under an hour, which is why we treat every active leak as an emergency call.
-
Florida Building Code wind uplift requirements
Repairs must meet the local wind zone, so we use rated materials and documented fastener patterns that pass inspection and satisfy insurers.

Storm Leak Problems We Fix Across Florida
Every storm leaves a different mess. These are the four failures we see most often on Florida roofs after a named storm or a hard afternoon line.
Problem
Wind-lifted shingles letting water into the attic
Water soaks insulation, stains ceilings and starts mold within 48 to 72 hours if the leak is not stopped.
Our Fix
We tarp the breach the same day, then replace the lifted courses, re-nail with a roofing nail gun and seal with GAF or CertainTeed shingles rated for Florida wind uplift. Most repairs take 2 to 5 hours.
Problem
Cracked pipe boots leaking at every penetration
A cracked boot drips straight down a vent pipe into the wall cavity, where you cannot see it until the drywall swells.
Our Fix
We replace the boot, reseal the collar with Henry Company sealant and water-test the penetration. This is one of the cheapest storm repairs we do and one of the most common.
Problem
Failed flashing at walls, valleys and chimneys
Flashing leaks run behind siding and framing, rotting sheathing for months before a ceiling stain shows up.
Our Fix
We remove the old metal, replace underlayment, install new flashing and reseal with Sika or Tremco product. Flashing repairs usually take 2 to 4 hours and stop the leak at the source.
Problem
Torn underlayment under intact tile
The tile looks fine from the ground, so the leak goes unnoticed until the deck and framing are soaked.
Our Fix
We lift the tile, replace the torn underlayment and re-set the field with matching pieces. This is the standard tile roof leak repair after a Florida hurricane, and it usually takes 4 to 8 hours.
Why Florida Homeowners Call Us First
A storm leak gets worse every time it rains. Here is what you get when you call our team instead of waiting on a callback list.
-
Same-Day Tarp and Dry-In
We tarp the breach the same day you call, usually within 2 to 4 hours in most Florida metro areas. That stops water from reaching insulation, drywall and framing while we schedule the permanent repair. You get a written scope and photos of the damage before we leave.
-
Leak Found, Not Guessed
We chase the leak with a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera instead of replacing shingles until it stops. That saves you money and gets the repair right the first time. Most single-source leaks take 2 to 4 hours to isolate and seal.
-
Insurance-Ready Documentation
We photograph every damaged shingle, flashing run and pipe boot, then write the scope in the format adjusters expect. That is how Florida storm damage roof repair for insurance claims gets approved faster. You get the file the same day the inspection is done.
-
Code-Correct Materials
We install GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed shingles, Carlisle SynTec TPO membrane and Henry Company sealants that meet Florida Building Code wind and uplift requirements. Cheap patch jobs fail at the next 40 mph gust. Ours are built to hold through the next named storm.

Salt air corrodes fasteners and cracks pipe boots years early on Bradenton Beach roofs. We replace rather than reseal corroded components and use coastal-rated materials that hold through the next storm.

What Florida Homeowners Say
Real experiences from customers who chose our Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair services.
“A squall line tore off six shingles over our guest room and water was dripping into the ceiling by 9 p.m. The crew was on the roof by 11:30 with tarps and had it sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
How much does Storm Damage Roof Leak Repair cost in Florida?
Most storm leak repairs in Florida run $350 to $1,800 in 2026, depending on roof type and how much decking is wet. A single pipe boot or flashing reseal sits at the low end. A tile or metal section with torn underlayment runs higher. Emergency tarping is usually $250 to $600 and is often reimbursed by insurance.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage roof leaks in Florida?
Yes, in most cases. Florida homeowners policies cover sudden storm damage, including wind-driven rain that breaches shingles, flashing or pipe boots. Wear-and-tear leaks are usually excluded. We document the damage with photos and a written scope so your adjuster can see the storm cause clearly, which speeds approval.
How do I file a claim for storm damage roof repair in Florida?
Call your insurer, give them the date of the storm and the damage you see, then get a claim number. We inspect, photograph and write the scope, and you send that file to your adjuster. Most Florida claims get an adjuster visit within 7 to 14 days. We meet the adjuster on the roof if you want us there.

Call a licensed Florida roofing contractor with storm experience, not a handyman. We hold a Florida state roofing license, carry insurance, and have repaired storm leaks across the state since 2006. Ask any contractor for their license number and proof of insurance before they climb your ladder.
