FAQs
What are the signs that my roof has storm damage?
Signs of roof storm damage can vary but common indicators include missing or broken shingles, dents on gutters or vents, signs of water leaks inside your home, granules appearing in gutters, and visible damage to flashing or skylights. If you notice any of these issues, it's vital to have a professional inspection to prevent further damage.
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
It's best to have your roof inspected as soon as possible after a storm. Immediate inspection helps in identifying and addressing any damage early, which can prevent more severe problems such as water leaks, structural issues, or mold growth. Early inspection also helps in processing any insurance claims swiftly.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most homeowners insurance policies do cover storm damage, but it depends on the specifics of your policy and the extent of the damage. It's important to review your insurance policy and understand its coverage. Our experts can help you navigate the insurance claim process to ensure you get the required coverage for repairs or replacement.
What should I do if my roof is leaking after a storm?
If your roof is leaking after a storm, you should first try to contain the leak by placing buckets or tarps to prevent water from causing further damage inside your home. Immediately contact a professional roofing contractor to perform an emergency repair and inspection. Temporary solutions can mitigate damage, but a thorough inspection and permanent fix are essential.
How long does it take to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof?
The time required to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the roof. Minor repairs might take a few hours to a few days, while a complete roof replacement can take several days to a week. After an initial inspection, our team can provide a more precise timeline based on the specific damage to your roof.
Can storm damage be prevented in the future?
While you can't control the weather, certain proactive measures can help minimize the risk of storm damage. Regular roof maintenance, such as inspecting and repairing loose or damaged shingles, ensuring proper drainage, and trimming overhanging branches, can help. Additionally, investing in impact-resistant roofing materials can provide better protection against severe weather conditions.
