A Sherburne County thunderstorm with straight-line winds can lift shingles or drive rain past the flashing, and the water runs straight into the attic and down through the ceilings. A roof leak is about the whole envelope, from the shingles to the attic insulation to the drywall below. Sherburne Water Restoration tarps the opening and dries the structure fast.
How storms cause roof leaks here
The damage starts up top and works down:
- High winds lifting or tearing shingles and exposing the deck
- Wind-driven rain forced past worn flashing around vents and chimneys
- Hail bruising shingles so leaks show up in the next rain
- Water saturating attic insulation and coming through as a ceiling leak
Roof leaking during a storm? We can tarp it and start drying. Call a Big Lake crew now.
☎ Call (763) 247-1974Our roof and storm leak response
Our restoration technicians get a tarp over the opening to stop more water, then dry the attic, insulation, and ceilings in place with controlled access. We verify the framing and sheathing with moisture meters, document everything for your storm claim, and coordinate the roofing repair. Drying the attic properly is what keeps a one-time storm leak from becoming a recurring stain. This is distinct from an ice dam, which we handle as its own winter problem.
After the storm, get it tarped fast
Every rain after a storm adds to the damage through an open roof. A proper emergency tarp buys time to dry the inside and schedule the permanent roof repair, and it strengthens your insurance claim.
The National Weather Service Twin Cities office issues our severe storm warnings, and the Ready.gov severe weather guide covers safe response. When the roof lets water in, our crews dry it out.

Roof and storm leak water damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Big Lake dispatcher is standing by 24/7.
(763) 247-1974 Get a crew rollingCan you tarp my roof in a storm?
Yes. We get an emergency tarp over the opening to stop more water coming in, then dry the inside and coordinate the permanent roof repair.
How fast can you respond to a roof leak in Big Lake?
We dispatch 24/7 and reach most Big Lake and Sherburne County addresses in 45 to 90 minutes, and we staff up before major storms.
Is storm and roof damage covered by insurance?
Sudden storm damage from wind or hail is usually covered by a homeowner policy. We document the cause and the interior water damage to support your claim.
Do you dry the attic or just the ceiling?
Both. Wet attic insulation holds water against the framing, so we remove what is soaked and dry the whole envelope, not just the visible stain.
Is this the same as an ice dam?
No. An ice dam is winter meltwater backing under shingles. A storm leak is wind-driven rain through damaged roofing. We handle each differently.
Do you do the roof repair too?
We tarp and dry the water damage and coordinate a licensed roofer for the permanent repair so both move together.
