We’re L&L Roofing & Construction, based right here in Gainesville, and we respond fast when your roof’s in trouble.

Now, let’s walk through what you should do immediately—and what we’ll do to get you protected.

FAQ: What if my commercial roof is leaking right now?

Step 1: Contain What You Can Safely

  • Place buckets, bins, or tarps under the leak

  • Move electronics, inventory, or furniture if possible

  • Don’t get on the roof—especially during rain

  • Document any visible damage (for insurance)

Your safety comes first. Once the area is contained, give us a call.


Step 2: Call L&L Roofing for Emergency Response

We prioritize active leaks in commercial buildings, especially if operations or tenants are at risk.

When you call, we’ll ask:

  • What type of building and roof system you have

  • Where and when the leak started

  • If the building is occupied or has high-value equipment inside

Then we’ll send a crew ASAP with the tools and materials to secure the site.


Step 3: Temporary Protection + Full Inspection

When we arrive:

✅ We’ll tarp or patch the area to stop the leak
✅ Check for ponding water, failed seams, open flashings
✅ Document damage for you and your insurance
✅ Recommend the next steps: repair, restoration, or replacement

In most cases, we can stop the water the same day—then schedule permanent repairs after the weather clears.


Common Causes of Emergency Commercial Roof Leaks

  • Storm damage (wind, hail, heavy rain)

  • Clogged or damaged drains and scuppers

  • Aging seams or worn-out membrane

  • Punctures from rooftop equipment or foot traffic

  • Flashing failure at curbs, walls, or HVAC units

Whatever the cause, we’ve seen it—and we know how to fix it.

A: Yes. Call our main line, and we’ll respond as quickly as possible. We triage based on severity and property type.
