Downtown Wilkes-Barre generates emergency roof calls year-round, but the pattern shifts with the season. Fall brings wind-driven rain into flashing and valleys.
The same jobs go differently from one place to the next. Here is what we plan for.
We start by finding the actual entry point, not just the wet ceiling. On flat roofs, we check drains and seams first. On shingle roofs, we inspect flashing and valleys.
Flat roofs here pond behind parapets and around clogged drains. We clear the drainage path, then repair the membrane where water has been sitting. We check the whole field for weak seams.
When the roof is open and water is coming in, we secure a tarp over the damaged area. We weight and fasten it so wind does not peel it back before we return for the permanent repair.
We use infrared thermal cameras and moisture meters to follow water back to its entry point. This matters on downtown buildings where the leak often shows up far from the source.
Downtown Wilkes-Barre has a specific set of roof problems that come from its age, its weather, and its building types.
Many downtown commercial buildings have flat roofs with parapet walls that trap water.
Older masonry chimneys in Downtown Wilkes-Barre absorb water and crack with freeze-thaw movement. The flashing around them fails over time.
Luzerne County winters bring snow, then melting, then refreezing. Ice dams form at the eaves and block drainage.
Downtown buildings channel wind between them, which increases pressure on roof edges, ridges, and flashing.
Not every roof problem is an emergency, but some are. If you notice any of these signs, call us.
Emergency roof repair pricing in Downtown Wilkes-Barre depends on the roof type, the extent of damage, and how quickly we can access the problem. Tarping and temporary board-up usually cost less.

We had water coming through the ceiling of our store on a Saturday night. They answered the call, came out within the hour, and tarped the flat roof until they could repair it Monday. The leak was fixed and we did not lose any inventory. Straightforward pricing and no runaround.

Our chimney leak had been patched twice by another company and still leaked. These guys found the real problem with a moisture meter and fixed the flashing properly. It has been dry through two heavy rainstorms since. They explained everything without trying to sell us a whole new roof.

After a windstorm, shingles were missing and flashing was torn on our building near the river. They came out fast, tarped it, and returned to do the repair. The crew was professional and cleaned up all the debris. Good communication throughout.
