02Step
Assess & contain

03Step

04Step
Verify & bill
We log moisture readings until the structure is dry, then document the loss and bill your carrier directly.
A Nor'easter or a summer thunderstorm can drive rain under a lifted shingle, through worn flashing, or around a vent, and once water is in the attic it soaks the insulation and runs down into ceilings and walls. This is the roof and attic envelope, a different path than an ice dam or an interior ceiling leak from a plumbing line. On the older roofs across White Plains, a storm leak can go unnoticed until a ceiling stain appears.
§ 01
Where storm roof leaks start
The common failure points:
- Shingles lifted or torn off by high wind
- Worn or cracked flashing around chimneys, valleys, and vents
- Nail pops and gaps that open on an aging roof
- Debris that dams water on a low-slope section
Water follows the framing before it drips, so the wet area is usually larger than the ceiling stain suggests. We map it with meters and thermal imaging.
§ 02
Our roof leak water response
TDL Restoration stops the water and dries the structure:
- Tarp the compromised roof section to stop active intrusion
- Contain dripping and protect the rooms below
- Dry the attic, insulation, ceiling cavity, and walls
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified reading
- Document the loss for your carrier
We restore the water damage and coordinate with your roofer for the permanent repair, so the drying and the roof work move together.

Catch a roof leak early
Between storms, a few checks save you a ceiling:
- Look for attic stains, damp insulation, or daylight after big storms
- Have flashing and worn shingles addressed before the next Nor'easter
- Keep gutters clear so water is not forced back under the edge
The National Weather Service posts storm warnings for the area, and the EPA explains why fast drying of a wet attic prevents mold.
A tarp now saves the ceiling later
Getting a tarp over a compromised roof section during the storm stops more water from entering while you line up the permanent repair, which keeps the damage from spreading through the attic.
Wind tore shingles off during a storm and water came through the upstairs ceiling. They tarped the roof that night, dried the attic and ceiling, and worked with our roofer. The stain never spread past the one room.

FAQ
Roof Storm Leak Water Damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A local White Plains crew is standing by 24/7.
(914) 669-3241 Call nowDo you repair the roof too?
We handle the water damage, the tarping, drying, and restoration, and coordinate with your roofer for the permanent repair. Getting a tarp up fast stops the intrusion while the roof work is scheduled.
Is roof leak damage covered by insurance?
Sudden storm damage to the roof and the resulting interior water damage are often covered on a New York homeowners policy, while wear-and-tear usually is not. We document the storm damage and the drying for your claim.
Why is the wet area bigger than the ceiling stain?
Roof water enters the attic and travels along the framing and insulation before it drips through, so the actual wet area is larger and higher than the visible stain. We map it with meters and thermal imaging.
Can you dry the attic insulation or does it come out?
Lightly wet insulation can sometimes be dried, but soaked insulation loses its value and holds moisture, so it usually comes out. We assess it, dry the structure, and document what needed replacing.
How fast can you tarp my roof?
We answer 24/7 and reach most of White Plains in 30 to 60 minutes, so we can tarp a compromised section and start containing the water the same day, even during a storm.
