There's a Flood Watch tonight — does that mean my roof is at risk?

A Flood Watch means heavy, sustained rainfall is expected — 1–2 inches across Central Indiana on June 17, with locally higher amounts. That kind of prolonged rain is exactly what exposes a weak roof. Flashing, pipe boots, valleys, and worn or lifted shingles that stay dry in a light shower can let water in under hours of steady rain. If you notice a ceiling stain, a drip, or a damp spot, your roof has a leak path that should be inspected. We offer that inspection free with no obligation.

My roof is leaking right now — what should I do?

First, contain the water inside: move valuables, put down a bucket or towels, and if there's a bulging spot on the ceiling, carefully relieve the water into a container. Then call us at (317) 707-6637. We'll prioritize your home, work to pinpoint where the water is getting in, and get a repair plan moving as soon as it's safe to get on the roof.

Will my homeowners insurance cover this?

It depends on the cause. Damage to your roof and exterior from wind-driven rain, hail, or fallen limbs is generally covered under a standard homeowners policy, and we'll document the damage and help you file. Rising-water or ground flooding — water entering at grade from the outside — is typically excluded from homeowners insurance and is only covered if you carry separate flood insurance. We'll inspect at no cost, tell you honestly what caused the water intrusion, and help you pursue a claim where one legitimately applies.

What's the difference between roof damage and flood damage?

Roof damage lets water in from the top down — through the roof surface, flashing, or seals — usually driven by wind and heavy rain. Flooding is water rising from the ground up, into a basement or lower level. They're covered by different insurance and require different specialists. SPG handles the roof and exterior side: finding and fixing where water gets in through your roof.

How fast can you get out to me?

We're prioritizing homes with active leaks during and after the June 17 storms. We respond as quickly as conditions safely allow, and we can typically schedule a full free inspection within 24–48 hours across our Central Indiana service area.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. There is no charge and no obligation for the inspection. Our inspector examines your roof and exterior, traces any water intrusion to its source, and gives you a clear report of what's wrong and what it will take to fix it. You decide what to do next.

Should I wait until the rain stops to call?

Call now to get on the schedule — but we won't put a crew on a wet roof in unsafe conditions. For an active leak, we'll prioritize your home and inspect and repair as soon as the weather safely allows, so the damage gets addressed quickly.

On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis issued a Flood Watch covering all of Central Indiana, in effect from 5 PM through late tonight. Forecasters expect 1–2 inches of rain with locally higher amounts in excess of 4 inches, and warn that excessive runoff may cause flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying areas. Heavy, sustained rain is one of the most reliable ways to discover a compromised roof: water works through worn flashing, lifted or missing shingles, failed seals, and aging valleys, then shows up as ceiling stains, dripping, or damp drywall hours later. If you live anywhere in Central Indiana — Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville, Greenwood, Franklin, Plainfield, Avon, Brownsburg, Mooresville, Greenfield, Shelbyville, Anderson, Columbus, Bloomington, Lafayette, or Terre Haute — and you see signs of water intrusion during or after tonight's storms, SPG Roofing & Exteriors is offering free roof and exterior inspections.

What's Happening

June 17 Flood Watch for All of Central Indiana

The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for all of Central Indiana on the afternoon of June 17, 2026, in effect from 5 PM through late tonight. Total rainfall of 1–2 inches is expected, with locally higher amounts in excess of 4 inches where thunderstorms train over the same areas. The NWS warns that excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Slow-moving thunderstorms can drop a large volume of water in a short window, and a roof that handles a normal shower can leak under hours of steady, wind-driven rain. The point to watch for is interior water — stains on a ceiling, drips at a light fixture, or damp spots around a chimney or skylight are signs that water has already found a path past the roof surface.

Why It Matters

Heavy Rain Reveals Damage You Can't See From the Ground

Most roof leaks start small and invisible. Worn or lifted flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, cracked pipe boots, displaced or missing shingles, and aging valleys all let water in once rainfall is heavy and sustained enough. From the driveway, the roof looks fine. Inside, the first sign is often a faint ceiling stain or a musty smell — and by then water may have been tracking through your decking and insulation for hours. Acting quickly matters: trapped moisture leads to rot, mold, and damaged drywall and insulation that cost far more to fix than the original leak. Our inspectors go up on the roof, trace the actual entry point, and photograph and document what they find so you know exactly what is wrong and what it will take to fix it.

Insurance Claims

Storm Roof Damage vs. Flooding — and What Insurance Covers

It helps to understand the difference. Damage to your roof and exterior from wind-driven rain, hail, or fallen limbs is generally addressed under a standard homeowners policy, and when there is a covered loss we document the damage, file the claim, and meet your adjuster on-site — most homeowners pay only their deductible. Rising-water or ground flooding (water entering from the outside at grade) is different: it is typically excluded from homeowners insurance and is only covered if you carry separate flood insurance. We will not overpromise on coverage. What we will do is inspect your roof and exterior at no cost, tell you plainly what caused the water intrusion, and help you pursue an insurance claim where one legitimately applies.

What Our Customers Say

James D.Central Indiana

Wind damage to my roof and two interior rooms brought both a quick insurance claim and an equally quick estimate from SPG Roofing & Exteriors. Chris Sheets was instrumental in helping my insurer reach a more fair estimate, then Derek managed the scheduling and quality control of the workers who replaced my roof and renovated my two guest bedrooms. All was done efficiently and professionally. Highly recommended for their timely response to my storm damage.

Kevin P.Central Indiana

SPG recently completed replacing a flat roof that was damaged in a storm. I cannot say enough about the quality of their work, their service, and their excellent communication throughout the project. The price was very fair and lower than other quotes I received. The crew was professional, respectful of my property, and completed the job on time. I highly recommend SPG Roofing & Exteriors.

Kristen P.Central Indiana

Hired SPG Roofing for some roof repairs and they were excellent. Our roof looks great and customer service was amazing, very communicative throughout the whole process. We were charged exactly what we were quoted, no hidden fees or anyone trying to upcharge us. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
