Hurricane storms with combination of hail, heavy rains and strong winds may last too long for the average roof to withstand. No matter where you live in the U.S., chances are your home has encountered rough weather over the years.

Tropical storms can be dangerous and frightening, and safety has to be your top priority. Always refrain from entering a building that has sustained extensive storm damage until after local authorities determine it's safe.

Roof Damage Next Steps

Whether your roof has suffered wind, hail or rain damage, it's essential to follow these steps after storm damage happens to your home or business:

1. Take Precautions to Ensure Personal Safety

Once you return home, you may find that you have a lot of work to do to get your house or commercial building back in good shape. Be sure to put safety first by taking the following actions:

• Wear protective clothing, be cautious when cleaning and stay away from dangling or loose power lines.

• Be on the lookout for parts of buildings, loose tree branches or other debris when you are outside.

• Snap photos before commencing any repair efforts, as you may need them for insurance claims purposes.

2. Take Steps to Avoid Additional Damages

If you had any floodwater, after it is gone it is important to repair damages as soon as possible to avoid mold.

Completing temporary repairs will prevent further damage to your home or business. For example, if your roof has been compromised, there is a chance you may experience basement flooding. If this happens, pump and dry everything immediately to avoid any further damages. 

3. Assess Roof Damage After a Storm

After a storm, assessing roof damage will help you determine if you need repairs or an entirely new roof.

Any signs of storm damage to your roof should be documented, such as torn, dented, curled or missing shingles. Take pictures or keep a list of notes, as any evidence you gather can be helpful later for insurance purposes.

Lastly, contact us to help you assess roof damage after a storm. Not only can we assess damages done to your roof, we can work closely with you insurance provider to come up with the best plan to repair your roof. 

4. Contact Your Insurance Provider

If property damage occurs, make sure to reach out to your insurance provider and submit an insurance claim as soon as you can. It's also crucial that you inform your claims specialist of any mitigation actions you take after a tropical storm damages your home.
