Roofing

After a hail or rain storm has swept through your neighborhood, action steps must be taken promptly to secure your home. In the midst of being unnerved about the widespread damage in the area, you must obtain an accurate assessment of the damage to your property. Here are a few steps to help get you started with your storm aftermath checklist:

Landscape

Start at the ground level. Keep an eye out for exposed wood, torn off shingles or siding, sizable holes, missing or loose gutters, and anything else that looks out of the ordinary. Discard what you can and take pictures.

Contact Insurance Company

We suggest that you contact your insurance company as soon as you can to set up an appointment with a claims adjuster. Your insurance claims adjuster will determine whether or not there is actual storm damage. The longer that you wait to get in touch with your insurance company, the greater the risk of having your claim denied.

The Roof

Just because you can’t see visible damage to your roof doesn’t mean that your roof is okay. Not all storm damage is obvious, so you’ll want to have your roof inspected by a local, professional roofing contractor.

Check for Leaks

Depending on the extent of the storm, you may also want to inspect the interior of the home for stains and leaks. A stain on the kitchen ceiling or a leak in the bathroom may indicate an issue with the roof. Be sure to point our any visible interior damage to the claims adjuster.

Record Documentation

As you inspect your home following a storm, document the entire process.

  • Note the date and time of the storm and write down any unusual findings.
  • Keep receipts for any items that you purchase to make minor repairs.
  • It may also be helpful to take pictures of your findings for your insurance company as well as the contractor who completes the repair work.
