When Your Roof Can't Wait
Lionz Roofing provides 24/7 emergency roof repair in Fort Lauderdale, dispatching same-day crews to tarp active leaks, seal storm-damaged and flat roofs, and stop water before it reaches your walls, floors, and wiring.
Fort Lauderdale roofs take more abuse than most. Broward County sits inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and summer afternoon thunderstorms can dump inches of rain in an hour. Near the beach and the Intracoastal, salt air quietly corrodes fasteners and flashing until one storm finally pulls them loose. In established neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and Rio Vista, decades-old tile roofs sit on tired underlayment, and many mid-century homes carry flat or low-slope sections that flood when a drain clogs.
Our crews dispatch from our office on NW 33rd Ave, so we reach homes and businesses across Fort Lauderdale fast. If your damage is hurricane or wind-related and you'll be filing a claim, our storm damage repair team documents everything your carrier needs.

Roof Leaking Right Now?
Make the area safe, limit the damage, and get the roof covered. Here's what to do in the minutes before our crew arrives.
Cut power near the water
Switch off the breaker for any lights, ceiling fans, or outlets the water is reaching. Water and wiring are the most dangerous part of a roof leak.
Contain it and document it
Catch the drip with a bucket, pull furniture and electronics clear, and photograph the ceiling, the water, and anything damaged before you clean up.
Stay off the roof
Wet tile is slick, storm-damaged decking can give way, and South Florida lightning rolls in fast. Leave the roof to a licensed, insured crew.
Call for same-day tarping
The sooner the opening is covered, the less drywall, insulation, and flooring you lose. We dispatch a crew to tarp or temporarily seal the roof the same day.
Where Emergency Leaks Start On Fort Lauderdale Roofs
After a storm, these are the spots our crews check first.
- Cracked or slipped roof tile over aging, failed underlayment
- Shingles lifted or torn off by wind-driven storms
- Flashing pulled loose at walls, skylights, and chimneys
- Clogged drains and scuppers flooding a flat roof
- AC stands, vents, and pipe penetrations that have lost their seal
- Ridge and hip caps loosened by high winds

Emergency Roof Leak Repair in Fort Lauderdale
A roof leak becomes an emergency the moment water reaches the inside of your home faster than you can contain it. Lionz Roofing provides emergency roof leak repair in Fort Lauderdale around the clock: we stop the water the same day, document the damage, and schedule the permanent fix. If your leak is slow and only shows up after heavy rain, our standard roof leak repair in Fort Lauderdale traces it to the source without emergency dispatch.
When a roof leak becomes an emergency
Call for emergency service when water is actively coming through the ceiling, light fixtures, or around windows; when a ceiling stain keeps spreading, darkens between rains, or starts to sag; or when the leak began during or right after a storm, a high-wind event, or a branch or debris strike. Each of these means the roof is open to the weather, and every rain that follows pushes more water into drywall, insulation, and wiring.
What our crew does when we arrive
First we make the area safe and find where the water is getting in. On pitched tile and shingle roofs we secure a heavy-duty tarp over the damaged area; on flat and low-slope roofs we clear the drains and apply a temporary seal or membrane patch, since a tarp won't seal well on a flat surface. Then we check inside: the attic, ceiling, insulation, and walls below the leak, so hidden wet areas are found before they turn into mold or rot.
Photo documentation for insurance claims
We photograph the roof damage, the temporary repair, and the water damage inside, and note the likely cause. You get copies for your records, and if you file a claim we can share them with your adjuster. Many Florida policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, and a documented emergency tarp is one of them. Once the roof is dry, we come back for the permanent, code-compliant repair.

Emergency Flat Roof Repair
Flat and low-slope roofs are everywhere in Fort Lauderdale: on mid-century homes and additions, condo buildings, and nearly every commercial property along the city's business corridors. They handle sun well, but with no pitch to shed water, a single clogged drain or opened seam can turn one storm into an interior flood.
A loose tarp doesn't seal well on a flat surface, so our emergency response is different. We clear the drains and scuppers first to get standing water off the roof, then patch the damaged membrane to stop the leak, and schedule the permanent flat roof repair. We work on torch-down (modified bitumen) roofs, TPO, and other flat roofing systems on homes, and on commercial roofs across Broward County.
Flat roof failures we respond to
Ponding after a storm
Water that sits more than a day or two after rain finds every weak seam and adds weight the deck wasn't built to carry.
Split or blistered torch-down seams
Years of sun bake modified bitumen until seams open and blisters crack, and a heavy downpour pushes water straight through.
TPO seam and flashing failure
Membrane seams and perimeter flashing pull loose in high winds, letting water run under the membrane.
Clogged scuppers and drains
Leaves and storm debris block the only way off a flat roof, so water backs up over flashing and into the building.
Debris punctures
Branches, loose tile from a neighboring roof, or foot traffic around AC units can puncture the membrane.
Our Emergency Response Process
Tarp & Dry-In
Same-day emergency tarping, or a temporary membrane patch on flat roofs, to stop water intrusion the moment we arrive. This keeps the damage from spreading while the full repair is scheduled.
Full Assessment
A documented, photo-based inspection identifies the full extent of the damage so nothing gets missed. We flag anything insurance-relevant in case you decide to file a claim.
Permanent Repair
Licensed crews complete a permitted, code-compliant repair built to Broward County's hurricane-zone requirements. We walk the finished work with you before the job is closed.
Emergency Tarping / Dry-In: Starting from $500
This covers emergency tarping/dispatch only. Full repair cost depends on your inspection and is often insurance-variable.
Final pricing is determined after a free on-site inspection. Actual cost depends on roof size, material, extent of damage, and other job-specific factors.
Not sure it's an emergency? Book a free roof inspection and we'll document the roof's condition, or explore our scheduled roof repair service.
Emergency Repair vs. Scheduled Repair
If water is actively getting in, a section of roofing is missing, or the structure is compromised, it needs a same-day response. If the damage is contained and nothing is leaking, a scheduled repair lets us plan the work properly without emergency dispatch.
If the damage is extensive enough that repair costs approach the price of a full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale, we'll tell you honestly during the assessment, and financing options are available either way.

Have questions about our roofing services? Find answers to the most common questions below, or reach out to our team directly.
What counts as an emergency roof repair?
Any roof problem that is actively letting water or weather into your home or business: an uncontrolled interior leak, storm or fallen-debris damage, large missing sections of tile or shingle, a sagging roofline, or fire damage. If water is coming in right now, treat it as an emergency and call us.
How fast can you respond to an emergency roof leak?
We offer same-day emergency response across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, with crews dispatched from our office on NW 33rd Ave. Our phone line is answered 24/7, and in most cases we can have your roof tarped or temporarily sealed the same day you call.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency roofing service?
Yes. Call (954) 637-6835 any time, day or night, and we will dispatch a crew to stop the damage from spreading.
My roof is leaking right now. What should I do?
Switch off power to any lights or outlets near the water, move furniture and electronics out of the way, and catch the drip with a bucket. Take photos of the leak and any damage for your insurance claim. Stay off the roof, since wet tile and storm-damaged decking are dangerous, and call us for same-day tarping.
How much does emergency roof repair cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Emergency tarping and dispatch starts from $500. The permanent repair is priced separately after we inspect the full extent of the damage, and it is often covered in part by insurance. Final pricing is determined after a free on-site inspection. Actual cost depends on roof size, material, extent of damage, and other job-specific factors.
Will a tarp really stop the leak until the permanent repair?
Yes. A properly secured emergency tarp seals off the damaged area and keeps water out while the permanent repair is documented, permitted where required, and scheduled. On flat roofs we use a temporary membrane patch instead, because a loose tarp does not seal well on a low-slope surface.
Can a roof leak be repaired during rain?
A temporary repair, yes. As long as there is no lightning or high wind, our crew can tarp the damaged area or apply a temporary seal in the rain to stop water coming in. A permanent repair needs a dry roof, because underlayment, adhesives, and sealants won't bond properly to wet surfaces, so we schedule the permanent fix as soon as the roof dries out.
Can you do emergency repairs on a flat roof?
Yes. Flat and low-slope roofs are common in Fort Lauderdale homes, condos, and commercial buildings. We handle emergencies on torch-down modified bitumen, TPO, and other flat roof systems, including split seams, blisters, punctures, and ponding water. The first step is usually clearing clogged drains and scuppers and patching the damaged membrane so water stops coming in.
Do emergency roof repairs in Fort Lauderdale need a permit?
Temporary measures like tarping or patching to stop active water intrusion can be done right away. Permanent roof repairs in Broward County must meet the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, and we pull any required permit as part of the job.
Can you come out during a hurricane or tropical storm?
Crews cannot safely work on a roof during high winds or lightning. We dispatch as soon as conditions are safe, prioritizing active leaks and open roofs. If you can, call us before the storm passes so you are already in the queue.
Does insurance cover emergency roof leak repair?
Often, if the leak was caused by a sudden event such as a storm, high winds, or falling debris. Leaks from age, wear, or lack of maintenance are usually excluded. Most policies also expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, which is what an emergency tarp does. We document every emergency job with photos and notes to support your claim and can coordinate with your adjuster. Check your own policy for coverage details.
What's the difference between emergency repair and storm damage repair?
Emergency repair covers any urgent roof failure, whatever the cause, with an immediate tarp-and-assess response. Our storm damage repair service focuses on hurricane and wind damage, with detailed documentation and insurance claim support. If your damage is storm-related and you plan to file a claim, see our storm damage repair page.
