FAQs
What signs indicate that my roof has sustained storm damage?
Signs of storm damage on your roof can include missing or broken shingles, visible leaks in your attic or ceiling, dented or damaged flashing, granules accumulating in gutters, and visible holes or punctures. It’s essential to have a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage accurately.
How soon should I get an inspection after a storm?
You should arrange for a roofing inspection as soon as possible after a storm. Prompt inspections help prevent further damage, minimize the risk of leaks, and expedite any insurance claims process. Immediate attention also ensures that temporary protective measures can be implemented if necessary.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs after a storm?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover roof repairs caused by storms, but coverage can vary depending on your policy and the extent of the damage. It's essential to review your policy and contact your insurance provider to understand the specifics. Documentation from a professional roofing inspection can be crucial for filing a claim.
