Storm Damage Overview
Hail damage can cause dented or cracked shingles and widespread granule loss. Wind damage may lift or remove shingles, exposing the underlayment to further weather.
Fallen trees, branches, and flying debris can also damage shingles, decking, and other roof components. An exposed roof can allow water to enter quickly, often leading to full roof replacement services when the damage is extensive.
How to Identify Storm Damage
Common signs include missing or lifted shingles, dented flashing and gutters, cracked tiles, and granule buildup around downspouts. Interior water stains or leaks can also indicate storm-related damage.
Some damage is difficult to identify from the ground. Bruised shingles, loosened flashing, and damaged seals may require a professional inspection before the full extent of the damage is known. If water has entered the property, roof leak repair may be needed to address the immediate problem.
Insurance Claim Process
The process starts with a free storm assessment, including photos and a written damage report. This documentation can help support the insurance claim and establish the condition of the roof after the storm.
Most insurers impose a filing deadline, typically 1 to 2 years from the storm date, although requirements vary by policy and location. Starting the process early helps preserve documentation and avoid unnecessary delays.
When the adjuster visits, Roofing Relief Pros can provide the inspection documentation and point out documented storm damage. Once an approved claim is ready for replacement, the project can be scheduled and completed.
Not every storm-damaged roof needs replacement. For isolated damage, roof repair services may be the appropriate solution.
Emergency Response
Active roof leaks after a storm require immediate attention. 24/7 emergency tarping and temporary waterproofing can help protect the property while the damage and insurance claim are addressed.
Storm damage can also affect commercial properties. Commercial roofing covers storm damage assessment and replacement for flat and low-slope systems.
- For urgent situations, emergency roof repair is available around the clock.
