An active leak during the rainy season can damage inventory, equipment, ceilings and finishes quickly. Temporary leak protection stops or redirects water until the roof can be properly repaired.
Residential and commercial roofs
We protect pitched tile and shingle roofs as well as flat and low-slope commercial roofs. On low-slope roofs, temporary measures may include tarping, sealing open seams or penetrations, and clearing drains so water can leave the roof.
For businesses we coordinate access and timing to keep disruption low.
Finding the real source
Water often travels along the deck before it shows up as a stain, so the drip inside is rarely directly under the hole. We trace the likely entry point before covering it, which keeps the temporary fix from missing the problem.
Next steps after the leak is controlled
Once the area is protected, we can quote a permanent repair or roof replacement. West Coast Precision Roofing is a licensed C-39 roofing contractor, family owned since 1982.
Common questions
Can you protect a flat commercial roof?
Yes. Temporary protection is available for low-slope and flat roofs, using methods suited to the roofing material and drainage.
Is temporary leak protection the same as a repair?
No. It limits further damage until a permanent repair is made. Repairs are scoped and quoted separately.
