Roof Damage from Hail
The midwest and Omaha area can unfortunately see damaging hail storms throughout spring and summer. While small hail can have little to no impact on your home and property, larger or longer hail storms can harm your roof shingles, siding, gutters, window wraps and other home accessories. Varying factors may determine whether or not you need repair or replacement to these items.
Avid Restoration project managers will identify storm damage during a free roof inspection, and share photos as well as their professional recommendation for restoring the property if needed. Your project manager will access your roof and mark any dents in shingles to identify the storm damage. He or she will also walk your property to identify any other damage caused to siding, gutters, and windows.
Signs of possible hail damage
Think your home might have been hit by hail? It’s a good idea to check after any recent hailstorms in your area. Look closely at your gutters, fascia, and any metal roofing – dents are a common sign of hail damage.
Also, take a look at your siding and roof itself for any noticeable marks or dings. If you see anything suspicious, it’s best to get it checked out by professionals like Avid Restoration to avoid bigger problems down the road.
The effects of hail damage
Hail damage can have a serious impact on your home, going beyond just cosmetic issues. It can actually void your roof’s manufacturer warranties and speed up the loss of granules from your shingles, which can lead to premature roof failure. This isn’t just about the roof, though.
Hail can also cause your siding and other exterior building materials to fail sooner than expected, leaving your home exposed to further damage. If you suspect your home has been affected by hail, contact Avid Restoration for a professional inspection and to discuss your repair options.
Verifying Property Damage
Insurance companies enforce time limits in which claims can be filed after a recorded storm. These time limits are typically one year, but they can be as little as six months depending on your insurance policy.
Insurance carriers prefer a qualified professional contractor to verify damage before a claim is filed to prevent unnecessary claims. Avid Restoration is trained to identify storm damage in accordance with industry standards and are available to serve you!
Roof Damage from Wind
If you are from Nebraska or Iowa, you know it is windy here! Wind can lift, curl and even blow off your roof shingles. If you have damaged or missing shingles, your roof system will be compromised. Shingles are attached in an overlapping pattern to create a seal, when shingles are lifting, this creates the potential for damage from wind-driven rain. Your roof’s integrity is most important to prevent leaks and interior damage.
Wind can also damage your siding, displace gutters, and damage facia. Restoring all these areas of your property can be included in your project with Avid Restoration. As a general contractor, we will coordinate replacement or repair on siding, gutters, facia, windows and more.
Signs of shingle damage
It’s important to keep an eye on your roof for signs of damage. Missing shingles are a clear indicator of a problem, but also watch out for shingles that are torn, creased, curled, lifted, or loose.
Exposed nails and a leaking roof are other serious red flags. Even broken seals between shingles can compromise your roof’s integrity and lead to bigger issues down the line. If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to have your roof inspected as soon as possible.
Damage in flat commercial roofs
Flat commercial roofs are particularly vulnerable to storm damage. Signs of trouble can include a complete or partial blow-off of roofing materials, insulation that’s become unattached or shifted, and a compromised membrane attachment.
Keep an eye out for exposed fasteners, lifted or creased perimeter metals, and of course, any signs of a leaking roof. If you notice any of these issues, it’s critical to contact Avid Restoration immediately for a thorough inspection and to prevent further damage to your commercial property.
Trees or Debris Damage
Tree limbs and storm debris can bring the worst damage to your roof. Obvious signs of damage are punctures, but there are times when large objects can dent the surface of shingles causing a vulnerable area for moisture intrusion.
Your project manager can advise you on the best course of action to repair or replace your damaged roof.
