STORM DAMAGE
HOW TO SPOT STORM DAMAGE, AND THE BEST WAY TO GET HAIL AND WATER DAMAGE REPAIR.
Thunderstorms, tornadoes, hailstorms and hurricanes can tear shingles from your roof and give your roof a beating with tree branches.
Follow these steps to check for storm damage to your roof:
- Inspect your attic for leaks or water damage. Also, if any water stains appear on your ceiling or walls, you likely need repairs or a roof replacement.
- Look for signs of storm damage from the ground. Check for missing shingles or missing pieces of metal fascia, including any metal pieces displaced from around your chimney. Also, assess the condition of exhaust pipes, valleys, outer edges or angles where the roof meets the walls.
- Obviously, you’ll notice if a tree fell on your roof. If so, stay out of your home until a professional can determine whether any structural damage occurred. Consider hiring a general contractor or roofer with a general contractor’s license if your home suffered structural damage, as you’ll need more than roof repairs.
- If the storm produced hail, check for roof damage as well as siding damage. Hail damage commonly comes in the forms of dimples, made by smaller chunks of hail that pound the outer layer of shingles. Significant hail damage repair can often be covered by your insurance company.
- Stay safe – Avoid going on the roof to check for damage yourself and instead contact a professional roofer who can properly enact your water hail damage repair.
