The Howling Winds and Your Roof’s Unseen Heroes
According to the wizards at the National Storm Damage Center, when the wind picks up its tempo and dances around at a furious pace of 50 miles per hour or more, it can force even the sturdiest eve to tap out of the twirl. This dance-off often leads to the critical need for Storm Damage Roof Repair. If you’ve been left with your head in your hands post-storm, this wind-in-your-face guide is for you, my wind-battered friend.
Get to Know Your Enemy: Storm Damage 101
You might be of the opinion that storms are nature’s way of saying, ‘pull up a chair and bask in my amazing rain symphony.’ However, in the cozy (or should we say, ‘rooftop’) world of White Star Roofing, we’ve seen and heard tales of Weather-related Home Damage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) holds that storm-bothered roofs rack up a thunderous total of more than $1 billion in insurance claims every year in our good old U.S of A. But then, information is power, right? Understanding the nature of these tempestuous tantrums can get your roof restored in no time.
Telltale Signs of the Storm’s Chiding: Recognizing Wind Damage
Before you go a-hunting for Storm Repair Services, let’s make sure you know what you’re looking for. Wind Damage mostly presents itself in the form of missing shingles or shingles that seem ‘bruised’. Granules may be scattered around the gutters and downspouts, and there might be visible leaks during the noble act of precipitation. Of course, an Emergency Roof Repair is called for if you spot large limbs or trees that have decided to make your roof their new lounging area.
The Day After the Blitz: Inspecting your Roof Post-Storm
Once the storm has hurled out its final note and you’ve sighed your relief, comes the time to inspect what’s left in the wake of the tempest’s gig. Here’s how to conduct an evaluation of the roof, White Star Roofing style.
1. Get a pair of binoculars and scan your roof from the ground for visible damage.
2. Investigate your attic for leaks if it’s safe to do so.
3. Document the damage with clear photographs.
4. Contact professionals if there’s any uncertainty (remember, safety is always the first step in any dance with nature!).
