You just had a storm roll through Irvine, and now there’s water dripping from your ceiling—or worse, soaking your drywall.
Don’t panic.
At Fox Roofing Company, we’ve helped countless homeowners across Orange County handle post-storm roof leaks quickly and effectively.

Here’s exactly what to do (and what not to do) when you see a leak after a storm.

🚨 Step 1: Contain the Water Immediately

Grab a bucket, pot, or large container and place it directly under the leak to catch water. Use towels or a mop to prevent floor damage, and if you see bulging paint or bubbles in the ceiling, poke a small hole with a screwdriver to relieve the pressure safely.

🧰 Step 2: Do Not Climb on the Roof

We know it’s tempting to investigate the damage yourself—but wet roofs are extremely dangerous, especially with loose tiles or shingles.
Call a licensed roofing contractor instead. We’re trained to assess damage safely and know what to look for—above and below the surface.

📸 Step 3: Take Photos for Documentation

Snap pictures of:

Interior damage (ceiling stains, bubbling paint, wet walls)
The source of the leak (as best as you can determine)
The storm’s aftermath (fallen branches, debris on roof, etc.)

This will help with any insurance claims and assist our team when we inspect your roof.

🔍 Step 4: Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection

At Fox Roofing Company, we offer free emergency inspections for homeowners in Irvine and surrounding areas. We’ll assess:

Missing or cracked tiles/shingles
Damage to flashing, vents, and underlayment
Interior signs of water intrusion
Weak spots that could fail in the next storm

You’ll receive clear photos, an honest report, and no pressure to replace unless it’s necessary.

🛠️ Step 5: Repair the Damage—Fast

Delaying a repair can lead to:

Mold growth
Electrical hazards
Warped drywall and flooring
Larger structural damage

We provide same-day emergency repairs when needed, and if your roof qualifies for insurance coverage, we’ll help document everything for your claim.
