How roof and storm leak water damage in Big Lake gets done
Call & dispatch
The Big Lake water damage pros answer 24/7, and the nearest crew rolls with truck-mounted extractors, air movers, and moisture meters.
Find & stop the source
The tech who does the walkthrough traces the water and stops it, including what soaked into the basement, subfloor, and wall cavities you cannot see.
Extract & dry
The extraction crew pulls the standing water first, then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers run to a verified dry standard, not just the surface.

The drying team logs moisture readings daily until the material sits within a few points of a dry reference, then documents the loss for the claim file.
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

☎ Call (763) 247-1974The roof and storm leak response
The restoration technicians get a tarp over the opening to stop more water, then dry the attic, insulation, and ceilings in place with controlled access. The drying team verifies the framing and sheathing with moisture meters, documents everything for your storm claim, and coordinates 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 the response team handles 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 the severe storm warnings, and the Ready.gov severe weather guide covers safe response. When the roof lets water in, the 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. The crew gets an emergency tarp over the opening to stop more water coming in, then dries the inside and coordinates the permanent roof repair.
How fast can you respond to a roof leak in Big Lake?
The response team answers 24/7 and dispatches across Sherburne County, and the crew staffs 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. The extraction crew documents 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 the crew removes what is soaked and dries 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. Each is handled differently.
Do you do the roof repair too?
The mitigation team tarps and dries the water damage and coordinates a roofer for the permanent repair so both move together.
