Professional Roofing Inspections Following a Storm

Do you know when the last time you got your roof inspected or took a good long look at it was? If you don’t, don’t worry- you aren’t alone. Many others don’t take more than just a random glance at their roof every once in a while. However, that should not be the case. Your roof is a vital part of your home and is one of the first lines of defense between you and the weather. Your roof does a lot of heavy lifting as it deals with rain, hail, snow, and more while keeping you safe and sheltered. Weather can take a toll on your roof, so it is important that you have your roof inspected by a Kentucky or Illinois residential roofer after big weather events or storms!

 

What damage can a storm actually cause?

It’s easy to brush off inspecting your roof after a storm. After all, how much damage can a storm actually cause? The answer is a lot. Storms of all sizes and from all seasons can wreak havoc on your roof. Here is some of the most common roofing damage following weather events:

• Cracked shingles
• Busted gutters
• Water leaks
• Weakened roof membrane
• Missing shingles
• Damaged shingle surfacing

 

While some of these issues seem small, they can lead to much larger problems in the future, so it is best to act quickly and get them taken care of as soon as possible.

Why use a professional Kentucky or Illinois residential roofer?

Professional roofing companies have a skillset that most average homeowners don’t have when it comes to roofing. These professionals are trained for what to look for while they are doing a roof inspection and can find sometimes invisible or hard-to-spot damage that many homeowners might not be aware of or think is a big issue. Calling in the professionals offers benefits beyond this, however. Here are some more benefits to using a professional roofing company for your roof inspection:

• Help with insurance claims: Tackling an insurance claim gets significantly easier when a professional inspection is performed. At Integrity, our team is highly experienced in helping our customers get their claims filed with all of the information they need, simplifying the process, and helping to alleviate the stress of the situation.
• Water damage detection: professional roofers know how to spot and identify water damage. Water damage is tricky to spot and can cause lots of issues down the road, so using a professional can save you from future problems
• Cost-effective: It is much cheaper and easier to have your roof professionally inspected after a storm than it is for small issues to build up and turn into big, expensive problems.
