Stop Active Leaks Before More Damage Happens

Emergency roofing and tarping services available any time in Norman

When your roof starts leaking during a storm or in the middle of the night, you need someone who answers the phone and arrives prepared to stop water from coming in. Norman homeowners deal with fast-moving weather that can tear shingles loose, break branches through rooflines, or drive rain through areas that looked solid the day before. Waiting until morning can mean soaked insulation, stained ceilings, and water running down interior walls.

Big Dawgs Roofing & Construction LLC responds to emergency calls outside standard business hours and brings tarps, fasteners, and sealing materials to cover the damaged area and stop active water intrusion. The goal is to protect your belongings and the structure itself while giving you time to plan a permanent repair without rushing. Emergency tarping creates a temporary barrier that keeps rain out and prevents secondary damage to framing, drywall, and electrical systems.

If your roof is leaking right now or you see damage after a storm in Norman, call Big Dawgs Roofing & Construction LLC at (405) 639-7691 to request an emergency response.

What Happens During an Emergency Roofing Call

When you call for emergency service in Norman, the response begins with confirming your location and the type of damage you are seeing. A technician arrives with heavy-duty tarps, wood strips, roofing nails, and adhesive to secure the cover over the compromised section. The tarp is anchored along the ridge and eaves to prevent wind from lifting it and extended far enough to cover the leak source and surrounding area.

Once the tarp is in place, you will notice that water stops entering the house and the sound of dripping or running water inside goes away. The interior stays dry, and you can move furniture or electronics back into place without worrying about continued exposure. This temporary fix holds until a full inspection and repair can be scheduled during daylight hours.

Emergency tarping does not replace damaged shingles or repair underlying deck issues, but it does prevent the kind of cascading damage that turns a roofing problem into a full interior renovation. After the tarp is secure, Big Dawgs Roofing & Construction LLC provides guidance on next steps, including inspection timing and repair options that address the root cause.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency crew?
Move furniture and electronics away from the leak, place buckets under drips, and avoid going on the roof yourself. If water is coming through a light fixture, turn off power to that circuit at the breaker box.

Will the tarp stay in place if more storms come?
Tarps are fastened with wood strips and heavy-duty nails to resist wind, and they are sized to cover a larger area than the visible damage. They are designed to hold through additional rain and moderate wind until permanent repairs are completed.

How much does emergency tarping cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, the time of the call, and accessibility. You receive an estimate over the phone before the technician is dispatched, and payment is collected on-site after the tarp is secured.
