Roof Storm Damage

Roof damage can be caused by several things. These are damages from wind, snow, hail, or fire. That also includes a fallen tree hitting the roof after a strong storm goes through. Fire damage can be caused by a spark from a nearby fire landing on your roof, whether it be a wildfire, a neighbor burning organic items, or a house fire. Heavy rains and strong winds can bring down trees that could land on your roof. Snow, especially heavy snow and ice can rip or tear shingles as it slides down the roof. It can also cause roofs to cave in. Don’t forget that damages can include your gutters, vents, and flashing as well.

How do you know if you have roof damage? You may be able to see shingles that are curled, ripped, or missing. However, you should have a roof inspection done especially if it has hailed or the wind has been extremely strong such as 40 mph or above with even stronger gusts. Strong winds can lift edges of the roofing up and peel them away.

Steps to take after a storm are first, assess the damage look for missing shingles, broken gutters, etc. but do so safely. Watch for deep water, downed trees and power lines. Second, get a roof inspection done to mark any small hard to see damages so that an insurance adjuster will see them. Third, call your homeowner’s insurance and file a claim.
