Emergency roofing · make-safe line

Water is in the house.Make it safe before anyone climbs.

This is the urgent hour. Call 352-664-8585 with the address and the wet room, then ask whether a temporary cover fits and the charge before anyone starts. A later wind-or-hail assessment belongs on the storm damage page.

Gainesville office · 352-664-8585

Wires, a failing structure, or water on an electrical panel: call emergency services and keep clear before you call Brehm.

Make the house safe before a lasting repair.

When this number is the right call

Call while water is moving, when you can see an opening, when a limb has punched through the deck, or when a ceiling is still dripping. Say that on 352-664-8585. The conversation is dispatched from the Gainesville shop at 1344 NW 121st Way. This page does not promise a clock time.

What 24/7 means here

Brehm advertises 24/7 emergency roofing. Weather, access, and the property can change the response. Confirm availability on the call. No arrival time is promised on this page.

Cover, then a different visit

Temporary protection and the lasting repair are separate. A free inspection is not free emergency labor or materials. If the cover shifts overnight, call back. Do not treat the tarp as the end of the job.

Photographs

Work pictures, not your opening.

These frames come from Brehm’s project collection. They do not show the hole at your house, and they are not a picture of how a tarp will look.

Nothing on this row is a quoted charge, an arrival time, or a finished repair. Ask those questions on the phone before you authorize a cover.

While it is dripping

Make-safe answers.

Short answers for the urgent hour. The phone call confirms availability and the charge.

Call 352-664-8585
What do I do in the first hour of a leak?

If there is immediate danger, such as an electrical hazard or a structure that may fail, call emergency services and keep clear. Otherwise call Brehm at 352-664-8585 with the address and the wet rooms. Do not climb and do not set a ladder.

Does 24/7 mean a crew is already on the way?

No. Brehm advertises 24/7 emergency roofing availability. The call is where you confirm current availability. Weather, access, and the condition of the property can affect the response. No arrival time is promised on this page.

Is the tarp visit free?

No. Emergency work and temporary protection may involve a charge. Ask for the proposed scope and the charge before you authorize work. A free roof inspection is not free emergency labor or materials.

Will a tarp stop every leak?

No. A tarp is temporary protection, not a finished repair, and it should not be treated as a guarantee against all water entry or later weather. Ask what it will close and who to call if conditions change.

Before you dial

What do you handle before a crew is confirmed?

Pick the moment you are in while water is still the problem.

This moment · 1

Street, room, and whether it is still moving.

Call 352-664-8585 from a dry spot. Name the wet rooms. If lights, outlets, or the electrical panel are part of it, leave and call emergency services.

Say this on the callWhich room is wet, and is water still moving?

This moment · 2

Describe the opening from the driveway.

Do not climb and do not set a ladder. Say whether the covering is open to the weather, using only what you can see from a safe place. A ground-level picture can help. It does not replace the crew seeing it.

A cover is not a finished repair.

A tarp is temporary protection. It is not a promise that every drip stops. Ask what it will close, what it will not do, and the charge before you authorize the work.

Say this on the callWhat will the tarp close, and what is the charge before I say yes?

These prompts are for the phone call. They are not an arrival time.

  • Stay off ladders.
  • Describe the opening you can see.
  • Skip any picture that needs a climb.

Ask the charge before a yes.

When to call this line

Call while something is still dripping.

Use 352-664-8585 when water is moving, when you can see an opening, when a limb has punched through the deck, or when a ceiling will not stop dripping. Have the street address and the wet rooms ready. The Gainesville shop at 1344 NW 121st Way is where that call is answered. A calm next-day walkthrough of what the wind changed is the storm damage page, not this one.

Leave if lights, outlets, or the electrical panel are in the water, and call emergency services. Do not set a ladder. From the driveway, say whether the covering is open. A picture is useful only if you can take it without climbing.

Ask whether a tarp is the right temporary cover, which openings it would close, and the charge before you authorize anyone to start. A tarp buys time. It does not finish the roof, and it is not a promise that every leak stops. If the cover shifts overnight, call 352-664-8585 again. The advertised 24/7 line is how you confirm availability. This page does not promise a clock time.

Keep people out of a room while water is still dripping. Ask how the cover is fastened and what you should watch overnight. Put a bucket under the drip if you can do that without crossing a wet light or outlet. Do not treat the temporary cover as the end of the job. Labor and materials for the emergency visit are not the free inspection.
