Essential Steps to Take After Finding Roof Damage
Discovering storm damage to your roof can be stressful, but taking quick action is crucial to protecting your home and starting repairs. The first and most important step is to contact your insurance provider immediately to begin the claims process. Whether your policy covers repairs or a full replacement will depend on the age of your roof, the type of damage, and the specific details of your policy. Acting fast helps ensure your safety, prevents further damage, and leads to a smoother claims process. Here is a simple guide on what to do next:
- Contact your insurance company immediately to report the damage and start the claims process for your home.
- Document all visible damage by taking clear photos and videos from the ground before moving debris.
- Review your homeowner's insurance policy to understand your coverage limits, deductible amounts, and specific exclusions.
- Schedule an inspection with our roofing contractors, who will provide a detailed assessment of the damage.
- Keep all receipts and records of any emergency repairs you pay for upfront to submit for reimbursement later.
Protecting Your Home After a Storm
Identifying Key Roof Issues
Wind Damage
Strong winds have the force to rip off shingles, loosen critical flashing, and dislodge gutters, which can leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and water damage.Falling Debris
Large tree branches, broken poles, or other debris from storms can strike your roof, puncturing the surface and weakening its structure.Hail Impacts
Hail can dent shingles, crack roof tiles, and damage the roof’s underlayment, leaving unseen vulnerabilities that lead to future issues.Snow and Ice
Heavy snow accumulation puts strain on the roof’s structure, while freezing temperatures can crack masonry and disrupt flashing stability.A roof inspection is essential after a hail storm.
Hail can cause more damage to your roof than you might think, and ignoring it can lead to bigger problems. When it hails, it knocks off the protective granules on your shingles. These granules often end up in your gutters, leaving the asphalt exposed. Without this protective layer, UV rays from the sun weaken the shingles, making them brittle and prone to cracking. During the winter, the problem worsens as shingles expand and contract, potentially leading to leaks.
Over time, water damage can lead to mold growth, electrical issues, and damage to your walls. A roof inspection can determine whether the damage is new or old, which is crucial for insurance claims. If you think your roof has hail damage, call J.W. Tull Contracting for a free estimate today!
