If you’ve been a victim of a storm in your area, you should have your roof inspected for any type of damage. Damage such as missing shingles or a collapse can be visible from the ground while other type of damage is not. Storm Damage can also occur to shingles from hail and wind. Wind can loosen a shingle and allow water to travel under the other shingles and into a home. The only way to perform a thorough inspection of the roof is to walk on the roof. A roof can be slippery and dangerous for someone that is not properly trained, and it’s recommended that only a trained roofer perform this type of work.
If your home has suffered severe damage from high winds like a tornado in the area, an experienced roofing company can protect the inside of the home with a temporary repair until all of the repairs can be completed. If there’s a smaller hole, they may place a secured tarp to prevent water from entering the structure. Hail can leave indents in shingles and cause them to lose their UV protection from the sun. When this occurs, the life of the roof will quickly diminish because the shingles will begin to dry rot and crack. This can leave a home vulnerable to water entering the living space.
Reputable roofing companies will work with a homeowner’s insurance company after Storm Damage has occurred. This saves the homeowner a lot of time and trouble trying to complete and submit the necessary paperwork. A properly installed roof will help with a homeowner’s heating and cooling costs.
