Does Your Situation
Require Immediate Action?
Not every roof issue is an emergency — but when water is actively entering your home or your roof has suffered structural damage, every hour you wait increases the damage and the cost. If any of the situations below describe what you’re facing right now, call (662) 331-3000 immediately.
Ultimate Roofing serves Southaven, DeSoto County, and surrounding areas of Mississippi and Tennessee. We prioritize emergency calls during active storm events and deploy as fast as conditions allow.
-
Active Leak During RainWater dripping from a ceiling, running down walls, or pooling on floors during or after a storm is a roofing emergency. Water intrusion can destroy insulation, rot structural framing, and cause mold within 24 to 48 hours. Stop the clock — call us now.
-
Large Sections of Missing Shingles After a StormHigh winds from Mississippi thunderstorms can strip entire sections of shingles in seconds. Exposed roof deck has no water resistance. If your roof is missing multiple shingles or a full section, rain in the next weather cycle will cause serious interior damage.
-
Tree Limb or Fallen Tree Through the RoofA tree impact creates an immediate opening in your roof deck — and often damages the structural framing beneath. This is one of the most urgent emergency situations we handle. Don’t go near the affected area. Call us, document it from a safe distance, and call your insurance company.
-
Visible Sagging After a StormIf part of your roof deck or ceiling is visibly sagging after heavy rain or storm impact, the structural framing or decking beneath has likely been compromised. Do not walk under that area. This requires immediate professional assessment — call (662) 331-3000.
-
Visible Hole or Opening in the RoofAny visible gap, hole, or opening in your roof — whether from impact damage, shingle blow-off, or failed flashing — gives water, wind, pests, and debris direct access to your home’s interior. This must be addressed before the next rain event.

Emergency Tarping & Immediate Steps
Whether you need emergency tarping right now or want to know exactly what to do in the next 30 minutes, here is what you need to know.
Emergency roof tarping is the installation of a heavy-duty polyethylene tarp over a damaged section of your roof to prevent further water intrusion while permanent repairs are being arranged. Unlike a loose drape, a professional tarp is secured with battens and fasteners to withstand wind and additional rain. A properly installed emergency tarp can hold for 30 to 90 days, giving you time to work through the insurance process and schedule full repairs without rushing.
When your roof is breached, every hour counts. Rain, humidity, and standing water begin degrading wood decking, insulation, and drywall almost immediately — and mold can take hold within 24 to 48 hours. Emergency tarping stops that clock. It protects your home’s interior, limits the overall damage, and is often covered by your homeowner’s insurance as a mitigation measure. Getting a tarp down fast is almost always less expensive than repairing water damage that develops while you wait.
1. Call (662) 331-3000 immediately — the sooner we know, the faster we can respond. 2. Stay clear of the damaged area and do not attempt to access the roof yourself. 3. Move valuables, furniture, and electronics away from any area with active water intrusion and use buckets or towels. 4. Document everything with photos and video before cleaning up — this is critical for your insurance claim. 5. Call your insurance company to open a claim. Do not make any permanent repairs before an adjuster has reviewed the damage.

Emergency roof tarping is the process of securing a heavy-duty polyethylene tarp over damaged sections of your roof to prevent water from entering your home while permanent repairs are being arranged. A properly installed emergency tarp is secured with battens and fasteners — not just draped loosely — to withstand additional wind and rain. A professional tarp installation can typically hold for 30 to 90 days depending on weather conditions, giving you time to file an insurance claim, get an estimate, and schedule permanent repairs without rushing the process.
In most cases, yes — if the damage resulted from a covered event like a windstorm, hail, or a fallen tree. Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies in Mississippi cover sudden accidental damage to your roof and, importantly, many also cover the cost of emergency tarping as a mitigation measure to prevent further interior damage. Ultimate Roofing can help you document the damage with photos and written estimates in the format your insurance adjuster needs. We work with homeowners through the claims process regularly and can walk you through what to expect at (662) 331-3000.
It depends on the severity and location of the damage. If you have a small leak or minor shingle loss with no structural compromise, staying in your home is generally fine — just stay out of the room directly below the damaged area and document any water intrusion with photos. If a tree has impacted your roof, if you have a visible opening in the roof deck, or if there is any sign of structural sagging or cracking, you should leave the affected area of the home and consult a professional before re-entering. When in doubt, call us at (662) 331-3000 and we can help you assess the situation over the phone.
First, call (662) 331-3000 so we can assess the situation and dispatch a crew. Second, stay clear of the damaged area — do not attempt to access your roof yourself. Third, move valuables and furniture away from any area where water is actively entering and place buckets or towels to limit interior damage. Fourth, document everything with photos and video before anything is moved or cleaned up — this documentation is critical for your insurance claim. Fifth, call your insurance company to open a claim. Do not attempt any DIY repairs on a damaged roof, especially during or after a storm when surfaces are wet and unstable.
