Wind damage
Storms can happen at any time and may bring any level of damage to your roof and home. When disaster strikes your home, time is of the essence. Thankfully, a reputable team of storm damage experts is here waiting for your call.
To work with a local team you can trust, contact 1-800-RITE-ROOF today! Our team of professionals will inspect and diagnose any issues on your roof, from wind damage to ice dams, and restore it to its original glory once again.
Here in the Midwest, weather can turn on a dime and heavy winds can come out of any direction. Even though some shingles can withstand winds up to 90 mph, there are times when straight-line winds can gust severely and cause major damage to a roof.
Unfortunately, if your current shingles were not installed up to code, even modest winds can cause damage.
HAIL DAMAGE
Hail is a phenomenon that happens all over the country and can happen any time of the year. Roofs, siding, and gutters are especially susceptible to damage from hail – especially hail that is one inch or more in diameter.
If your home was damaged or you suspect hail damage work with a local professional contractor like 1-800-RITE-ROOF and avoid out-of-state “storm chasers” that are here today and gone tomorrow. At 1-800-RITE-ROOF we are local and work with many insurance companies to make sure you are fairly compensated by your insurance company.
ICE DAMS
As many of you know, here in the Midwest we can get some nasty winter weather. Heavy snow can build up on a roof and through the freeze/thaw cycle of melting snow in the day and re-freezing at night, a severe ice dam can occur. When this happens, water is inhibited from running down the roof and finds its way under the shingles and into the attic.
Ice dams can be very severe and cause thousands of dollars of damage to the interior of a home. If your home is experiencing ice dams or has had ice dams that caused damage to the roof, we can help. Our experts can help reduce ice dams by installing proper ventilation and insulation to minimize heat loss and melting snow on the roof. We can also repair damaged shingles that an ice dam has caused.
When disaster strikes, 1-800-RITE-ROOF will act fast to solve your problem!
Storm damage can occur from strong winds, hail, and even heavy rains and certainly ice dams. Keep in mind, small, minor damage can lead to bigger and more costly deterioration and damage down the road.
Storm damage happens when you least expect it, leaving you scrambling and stressing over what steps to take. Rest assured, 1-800-RITE-ROOF is here for you, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day for emergency repairs. We will inspect your home, assess the damage, and come up with a solution and plan of action with your insurance company to make sure you are covered.
Signs of Storm Damage
Before ascending your residence to inspect the roof, it’s important to know whether you have reasonable suspicion of damage. Here are some common signs to look out for:
Missing or Damaged Shingles
High winds and heavy rains can lead to shingles being ripped off or broken, leaving the underlayment and, consequently, your home, vulnerable.
Leaks and Water Stains
If you notice sudden leaks or water stains on your ceiling after a severe storm, it’s a strong indicator of roof damage.
Dents on Metal Surfaces
Hailstorms can leave depressions in flashing, gutters, or other metal elements of the roof, which may compromise their effectiveness.
Debris Accumulation
If you find a pile of branches, leaves, or other debris on your roof after a storm, it’s an obvious sign of a significant weather event that could cause damage.
Your Next Move When You Suspect Damage to Your Roof
Once you’ve noted troubling signs, it’s essential to remain calm and follow these steps:
Conduct a Visual Inspection
Carefully survey your roof from the ground, looking for visible signs of damage without risking your safety.
Document the Damage
Take photos or videos of the damaged areas. Visual evidence is crucial for insurance purposes and for demonstrating the level of damage to a professional who will later provide an assessment or repairs.
Contact 1-800-RITE ROOF
Get in touch with us as your licensed roofing contractors of choice to perform a thorough inspection if the damage appears substantial. This inspection may reveal damage not immediately apparent to the untrained eye.
Repair Options and Mitigation
Addressing your roof damage will depend on its severity and the immediacy of the issue. Here are the primary considerations:
Immediate Mitigation
In the event of a significant storm, take temporary measures to minimize further damage, such as covering exposed areas with a tarp or sealing leaks to prevent water intrusion.
Long-Term Repair
Depending on the damage, you may need a patch job or a full roof replacement. As your roofer, 1-800-RITE ROOF will work with you to decide on the best course of action that is both cost-effective and ensures the longevity of your roof.
Insurance Procedures
Evaluate your homeowner’s insurance coverage and file a claim if the damage is substantial. The documentation and inspection reports will come in handy during this process. 1-800-RITE ROOF can assist you with this step by providing inspection reports, documentation and anything else your insurers require when handling your claim.
Preparing for the Future
The best defense against storm damage is a proactive approach. Implement these preventive measures:
- Schedule regular roof inspections
