Storm Damage

What Kinds of Roof Damages Can Storms Cause?

Wind Damage
High-speed winds can lift or rip off shingles, loosening the protective barrier and exposing the underlying roofing materials to further damage.
Hail Damage
Hailstones can cause significant denting and cracking on your roof. Over time, these can lead to leaks and structural weakness.
Debris Damage
Storms often bring with them flying debris, like tree limbs or other objects, which can cause substantial impact damage to your roof.
Water Damage
Heavy rain can exploit even the slightest weakness in your roof, leading to leaks that can cause further damage to your home's interior.
Snow & Ice Damage
Snow and ice can accumulate on your roof during winter storms. The weight of this buildup can strain your roof, and as it melts, it can cause water damage.

How Soon After a Storm Should You Call a Roofer?

It's crucial to contact a professional roofer as soon as possible after a storm.
The sooner you call, the sooner your roof can be assessed and the sooner that any damage can be mitigated and repaired. This protects your home from further harm and ensures that you're in a stronger position if you need to file an insurance claim. Remember, some damages may not be visibly apparent immediately following a storm, and you may need an in-depth professional inspection to identify them.

In fact, waiting too long to get a professional roof inspection can lead to prolonged exposure to the elements for any underlying damages, potentially exacerbating the problem and increasing repair costs. Moreover, your insurance company may only cover storm damage claims made within a certain period following the storm, so prompt action is essential.
