A roof inspector will examine your roof, assess the damage and give you an estimate for repairs. Below you’ll learn the answers to commonly asked questions about storm damaged roofs.
Q.) Is it possible to determine signs of roof damage without climbing on the roof?
A.) If your roof has been damaged by a storm, there are other signs you can look for without having to get on your roof. Go into your attic and look for water and water damage. If the insulation is wet, you’ll know that you have a leak in your roof. Check the walls and ceiling of your attic for water spots or stains. If you do have water damage, check to see if the water is leaking in only one area or in several places. Take a walk around your yard and look for shingles that have blown off your roof. Inspect your siding and gutters to see if they’re damaged from hail. If they have dents and dings, your roof is damaged too.
Q.) What types of damage can a storm do to a roof?
A.) If you’ve had a hailstorm, the hail can crack or break the shingles as they hit your roof. When your shingles are damaged, they can’t protect your roof and it may begin to leak. During a heavy windstorm, large gusts of wind can blow the shingles off your roof. When you have missing shingles, your home is no longer protected from the elements.
Q.) Does the entire roof have to be replaced after a storm?
A.) In some instances it will, but it all depends on the amount of damage that was done to your roof. After an experienced contractor from a Residential Roofing service in Pewaukee WI inspects your roof, you’ll know if it needs to be replaced or repaired.
