Active roof leak in Essex County?

Call first. We will discuss the safest next step and our availability. For immediate danger, leave the area and call emergency services.

Call (973) 878-0568What to do right now
First, keep people safe

What to do right now.

Do not try to diagnose an active leak from the roof. Focus on keeping people away from hazards while you call.

  1. 01

    Leave an unsafe area

    If there is immediate danger or the structure appears unsafe, get everyone out and contact emergency services.

  2. 02

    Stay clear of sagging ceilings

    A bulging or sagging ceiling may fail. Do not stand beneath it, touch it, or puncture it.

  3. 03

    Avoid wet electrical fixtures

    Do not touch a wet light, switch, or electrical fixture. Leave the area and avoid the water around it.

  4. 04

    Contain only what is safe

    If there is no hazard and the area is safe to enter, place a bucket under a drip and move valuables away. Do not climb onto the roof.

A calm next step

A call, then an honest assessment.

We will ask what you can safely observe, talk through urgency, and explain our availability. Once it is safe to inspect, we will look for the likely source and explain whether a repair is enough.

What should I do first if water is coming in?
Keep people and pets away from the affected area. If it is safe, place a container under a drip and move belongings away. Do not approach a sagging ceiling or wet electrical fixture.
Should I poke a bulging ceiling to drain it?
No. Do not puncture a bulging or sagging ceiling. Stay away from it and leave the area if it appears unsafe. If a wet electrical fixture is nearby, avoid touching it and leave the area.
Can Vestyr come out immediately?
Call (973) 878-0568 first. We will understand the situation and tell you what we can do. Same-day help is possible when availability and safe conditions allow, but it is not guaranteed. Our regular hours are Mon–Sat 8am–6pm.
What if there is an immediate danger?
Leave the unsafe area and contact emergency services. Do not wait for a roofer when people may be in immediate danger.
Does an emergency leak always need a new roof?
No. A leak may come from a localized issue. Once conditions are safe, we can inspect and explain whether a repair is appropriate or a larger scope should be considered.
Can I book online for an active leak?
