During a storm, a lot of things can happen. These aren’t all the issues that might arise, but they are among the most frequent. Here’s what to check for and how to deal with storm-related roof damage with the assistance of Over The Top Roofing and Remodeling.

Lost Shingles

Wind and debris from storms may easily knock shingles from your roof. If this is the case, having your shingles changed should be your top priority. If you’ve suffered enough damage, you might want to try replacing your entire roof with new shingles; you can even choose from a variety of colors.

Trapped Water

If a hole exists, water will always find a way in. Small holes and fractures in your roof and gutters surrounding it might go unnoticed, allowing water to flow in and stay there.

Roof damage can be caused by trapped water in a variety of ways. It can cause your roof to deteriorate over time as the weight puts too much strain on the frame.

Debris

Strong winds may transport a variety of objects, which might drop on your roof and cause damage. Falling branches from your trees, as well as those from your neighbors, might puncture your roof or cause other structural difficulties which later requires roof restoration to make it look like as new again.

If you live in an area where there is a lot of wind, examine if your homeowner’s insurance covers trees. Clean your roof as quickly as possible and assess it for any damage before it worsens.

Sheets of Snow

Snow may be beautiful, but it can also be aggravating. You may have seen a lot of snow on your roof after a blizzard. The weight alone can harm your roof, but it usually melts to the point that it slides off before that happens.

Ice dams can arise in various instances. When the water in your gutter freezes, it creates ice dams, which prevent the snow from melting and sliding down your roof. This is a hazardous situation to be in, and you should seek expert help.

Hail Damage

When most people think of hail, they think of shattered windows and damages on their vehicles It’s important to remember what it may do to your roof During a hailstorm, your roof is battered by ice balls that can grow to be quite huge, inflicting catastrophic damage.

Hail may cause holes and cracks in your roof, resulting in issues such as trapped water, as we’ve already discussed. Always assess your property after a big hailstorm, especially if you sustained additional damage. Contact our Over The Top Roofing and Remodeling experts if you need assistance.
