Your roof is one of the important things that
provide you with protection against snow, heat,
wind, etc. It is also one of the most significant
lines of defence for our home. This is the reason
we need to have proper professional roof
inspections after storms. Proper inspections of
roofs after storms are necessary to keep your
family safe and have peace of mind.
How can a storm damage your roof?
Storms are something that comes with heavy
rainfall, fast winds and hail. All of this can
cause heavy damage to the roof. Let us know how
it damages the roof

• Hail
• Storms often bring hail. Hail can come down in
  unthinkable sizes. If a roof has faced a strong
  hailstorm then going with a professional roofing
  inspection is a must. The force with which hail
  comes down can cause severe damage to your roofs
  and the most common damage caused by hailstorms
  can be metal flashing on the roof. Hailstorms can
  cause your roof membrane to weaken and can lead
  to large water leaks.
• Heavy rain
• Heavy rains can saturate roofs and can lead to
  bigger leaks. Heavy rain can lead to holes or
  cracks on the surface of the roof and cause
  damage. Professionals can help you to resolve
  problems with ease.
• Strong winds
• In addition to hail and heavy rains, strong and
  heavy winds also have a common occurrence during
  storms. Strong winds can cause shingles on the
  surface of the roof and can even lead to moving
  off or losing other materials. Winds can even
  lead to severe leaks which can be resolved by
  professionals.

The most common types of Storm roof damage

• Before getting into roof inspection it is
  necessary to understand the types of damages a
  storm can cause to a roof. While there can be a
  variety of problems or damages because of storms
  in your roof, these are the most common and
  evident problems faced by a large number of
  homeowners.
• Water leakages
• Gutter problems
• Missing shingles
• Damage from fallen branches and many more
• Storms can severely damage the roofs and damaged
  roofs can pose a great threat to the security of
  your family. Sometimes the damages caused by the
  storms are not evident, but those hidden issues
  can later become a greater part to deal with.
  Thus a storm-damaged roof inspection after every
  stormy season is something which cant be
  ignored.

Benefits of Storm damaged roof inspection

• If you will find professional roof inspectors
  near me, and you will go with the best ones, you
  will receive numerous benefits. Some of them are
  stated as under
• You can easily analyse your roof stability after
  an inspection
• The roof inspector will start the inspection
  process by analysing the stability of the roof.
  The inspector will give you a detailed review of
  your roof, whether the roof has shifted or
  buckled because of the storm. The analysing of
  the roof is important during the storm to check
  out the integrity of the roof. A damaged roof or
  a roof covered with tree branches can have
  dangerous outcomes.
• A proper check on the leaks
• Roof leaking is like a nightmare for every
  homeowner. Roof leaking becomes very common after
  storms. The leaking of the roofs can cause
  substantial damage to the house and if not
  treated properly and on proper time can invite
  various new problems.

• A roof inspection after the storm can help you to
  spot smaller issues
• Often smaller issues are left unseen by
  unprofessional eyes and thus a proper roof
  inspection is necessary to spot smaller issues
  which can later cause costly problems.
  Professional roof inspectors will spot barely
  noticeable issues and provide solutions for them
  at an early stage so that the problem does not
  continue further.
• A proper roof inspection will provide a complete
  check on the shingles
• Shingles can leave roofs vulnerable to leaks. A
  proper roof inspection will properly recognise
  and treat the shingles to prevent any further
  costly loss. Roof inspectors have great
  experience in handling those shingles and provide
  you with complete assurance and safety.

• Access for insulation
• Another important thing for which we should
  consider roof inspection is access to insulation.
  Roof inspectors ensure access to insulation
  through roofs. Storms can cause leaks and damage
  to the roof but at the same time can stop the
  insulation process which can pose a severe threat
  to the health of your family.

  company a clear idea about all the damages and
