Checking for Roofing Damage After A Storm

Storms in Southern Illinois, Western Kentucky, and surrounding areas can often be strong enough to do some serious damage to your roof. So, after a storm, what should you do as a homeowner? Integrity Roofing, a Southern IL roofing company, is here to provide a simple guide for what to check following a storm.

 

Assess Your Roof

This is a pretty obvious step to take after a storm. Perform a brief visual assessment of your roof by walking around your home to find and take note of any damage you see. It is important to document the damage because it could be helpful later on during the insurance process. 

 

Check Out Your Gutters

Just like your roof, gutters can be hit hard by storms. Following a storm, inspect your gutters for any damage, such as cracking or denting. Additionally, while checking the gutters you should also take a peek at other roofing accessories, such as any overhangs. 

 

Assess Your Attic and Ceilings

Even if it doesn’t look like any damage has occurred, it may be hidden beneath the surface. Wind and hail can cause leaks that don’t appear visible on the surface that can and will lead to additional damage later. Check your attic space and ceilings for signs of leaks or water spots.

 

Schedule a Professional Roofing Inspection

If you find any potential damage during your inspection, it’s time to call a professional roofing contractor. At Integrity, we perform free roof inspections and will help you figure out what to do moving forward.

 

Call Your Insurance Provider

It is important to contact your home insurance provider as soon as possible if your roof has damage in order to get the claim process started. Integrity has a team of insurance specialists who can assist you with the claim process and help make sure that your roof gets back to normal as soon as possible.
