The first hour of a roof leak decides what it costs you
A roof leak in South Florida is rarely just a roof problem. Within an hour water tracks along ceiling joists, saturates insulation and finds drywall, electrical boxes, stock and equipment. The job of an emergency call-out is not to rebuild the roof at 2am. It is to stop water entering the building and to record the damage properly, before anything gets cleaned up or thrown away.
Roofing Network runs emergency roof repair in two stages. Stage one is containment: find the entry point, dry-in or tarp it, clear ponded water and protect what is underneath. Stage two is the permanent repair, priced from what the crew actually finds once the roof is dry. Splitting the job this way keeps the emergency invoice small and means you are not paying storm-night rates for permanent work. Call 954-588-8734 to start stage one.

Who should I call for a roof leak in South Florida?
Call a Florida-licensed roofing contractor that answers its own phone, carries general liability and workers' compensation, and pulls a permit for the permanent repair. After a named storm, South Florida fills with out-of-state crews working under borrowed license numbers. You can check any contractor in 30 seconds at MyFloridaLicense.com before you let them on the roof.
Two warning signs worth knowing. Under Florida Statute 489.147 a contractor may not offer to pay, waive or rebate your insurance deductible, so anyone promising a free roof is telling you they break the law. And a contractor who wants a large deposit before any work happens, in cash, on the night of the storm, is not a contractor you will find again in six months.

How do you fix a commercial roof leak?
A commercial flat roof almost never leaks where the stain appears inside. Water enters at a detail, runs between the membrane and the insulation, and drops through the deck at the lowest point it finds. Roofing Network works the roof in this order:
Check the details first: pipe boots, curbs, HVAC penetrations, scuppers, drains, parapet flashing and termination bars. These are where the large majority of flat roof leaks start.
Probe and flood-test open or failing seams, then trace the water path back from the interior stain.
Moisture-scan the field to find how far the wet insulation has spread beyond the visible failure.
Cut out and replace saturated insulation and any soft decking, rather than sealing water inside the assembly.
Patch to the membrane you actually have: heat-welded TPO patch, EPDM seam tape and primer, torch or cold-applied modified bitumen ply, or a reinforced silicone repair on a coated roof.
If the same roof has leaked more than twice in a season, the honest answer is usually a roof coating restoration or a TPO roof overlay rather than another patch. See commercial roofing for the full range.
When should you call a roofing expert for a roof leak?
Call immediately, rather than waiting for the rain to pass, if any of the following are true:
Water is dripping near a light fixture, ceiling fan, junction box or electrical panel.
A ceiling is sagging, bulging or holding a visible pocket of water.
You can see daylight, sky or a torn membrane from inside the attic or from the roof.
Tiles, shingles or sections of membrane have blown off and the underlayment is exposed.
The building is a condo, HOA or multi-tenant property and the leak affects more than one unit.
You intend to file an insurance claim. Florida gives you one year from the date of loss to file a new property claim and 18 months for a supplemental claim, and the claim is far stronger with same-day photographs.

Whole-building and multi-unit roof leak repair
When a leak hits a condo, a townhome block, a shopping plaza or a warehouse, the roof is only half the problem. Somebody has to coordinate access, notify tenants or unit owners, protect the units below and produce documentation the board or the insurer will accept. Roofing Network handles emergency call-outs on multi-building properties with a single point of contact, a written scope for the board or property manager, and unit-by-unit photos of interior damage.
For associations, the emergency repair is normally billed to the association and the interior damage to the unit owner's policy, but your governing documents decide. See HOA and condo roofing for how responsibility is usually split, and roof insurance claim assistance for what your insurer will want to see.
Why South Florida property owners call us first
A person answers, not a voicemail box
The number on this page, 954-588-8734, rings a real line 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays. You get a roofer on the phone who can triage the leak and tell you what to do in the next ten minutes.
Licensed and insured before we touch the roof
Roofing Network is a Florida-licensed roofing contractor carrying general liability and workers' compensation. Our license and insurance details are published on our license and insurance credentials page so you can verify us before you call, not after.
We document for the claim, not just the repair
Every emergency call-out includes dated, geotagged photographs of the failure point, the interior damage and the temporary protection installed. That evidence package is what turns a contested claim into a paid one.
One contractor from tarp to permanent repair
The crew that dries the roof in is the crew that comes back to fix it. No handoff to a subcontractor, no second company blaming the first, and no second mobilisation charge for work we should already understand.
What happens after you call
Step 01
You call and we triage on the phone
We ask where the water is showing, what the roof is made of and whether anything electrical is affected, then tell you what to move, cover or switch off while the crew is en route.
Step 02
Crew dispatched with dry-in materials
A licensed crew arrives with tarps, self-adhered membrane, sealant and fasteners suited to your roof type, so the roof can be secured on the first visit rather than after a supply run.
Step 03
Containment and same-day dry-in
We locate the entry point, clear ponded water and debris, then tarp or dry-in the opening to a standard that holds through the next storm, not just the next hour.
Step 04
Photo and moisture report
You receive dated photographs of the failure, the interior damage and the temporary repair, plus a note of how far moisture has traveled through the assembly. A copy goes to your adjuster if you are claiming.
Step 05
Permanent repair quoted in writing
Once the roof is dry we quote the permanent fix as repair, section replacement or full replacement, with the reasoning for each shown. Financing is available through our roof financing options.
What does emergency roof repair cost in South Florida?
Emergency pricing depends on three things: how much roof has to be secured, how high and how accessible it is, and whether anyone has to work at night or during an active storm. These are the ranges most Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach jobs land in. Your written quote is fixed before work starts.
Emergency call-out and leak diagnosis — typically $0 to $350, credited against the repair
Tarp or dry-in, single area up to 500 sq ft — typically $450 to $1,200
Tarp or dry-in, large or multi-section roof — typically $1,200 to $3,500
Permanent flat roof patch, single detail or penetration — typically $600 to $2,500
Wet insulation cut-out and replacement — typically $12 to $22 per sq ft
Tile or shingle repair, storm damage — typically $750 to $4,000
Section replacement or re-roof — priced per square foot, see our roof replacement cost guide
Ranges are indicative for Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County and are not a quote. Night, holiday and active-storm call-outs carry a premium. If you are filing a claim, we bill the emergency mitigation separately so it can be submitted under your policy's reasonable emergency measures provision. See roof replacement cost guide for full replacement pricing and roof insurance claim assistance for how mitigation costs are claimed.

Emergency roof repair FAQs
Are there 24/7 emergency roofing services in Fort Lauderdale that are insured?
Yes. Roofing Network provides 24/7 emergency roof repair in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County as a licensed and insured Florida roofing contractor. General liability and workers' compensation certificates are issued on request before any crew goes on your roof. Call 954-588-8734.
How fast can you get to my property?
Response time depends on where you are and what the weather is doing. On a normal day most Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach call-outs are attended the same day. During an active named storm, crews cannot safely be put on roofs until wind speeds drop, and we will tell you that honestly rather than take a booking we cannot keep.
Can you repair a roof in the rain?
We can contain a leak in the rain using tarps, self-adhered membrane and mechanical fastening. We cannot install a permanent repair on a wet substrate, because adhesives and welds will not bond and the sealed-in moisture will rot the deck. Containment first, permanent repair once dry.
Who pays for emergency roof repair, me or my insurance?
Most Florida property policies cover reasonable emergency measures taken to prevent further damage, which is why the mitigation work is invoiced separately with its own photo documentation. The permanent repair is covered only if the underlying cause is a covered peril such as wind or storm damage, not wear or age.
How do I fix a commercial roof leak until you arrive?
From inside only. Move stock and equipment clear, put buckets under active drips, and puncture a bulging ceiling tile at its lowest point to release trapped water in a controlled way. Do not go onto a wet flat roof, and do not pour sealant into a leak you have not traced.
Do you handle whole-building leaks for condos and HOAs?
Yes. Roofing Network handles multi-building and multi-unit emergency call-outs for condominium associations, HOAs and commercial landlords across South Florida, with one point of contact, a written scope for the board and unit-by-unit interior damage photographs for the association's claim.
