Storm Damage Checklist
Storms can wreak havoc on your roof, leaving behind hidden damage that, if left unaddressed, can lead to costly repairs down the line. Our Storm Damage Checklist is designed to guide you through a thorough roof inspection after severe weather, helping you identify issues like missing shingles, leaks, or structural concerns. Use this checklist to stay proactive, protect your home, and ensure your roof remains in top condition.
- ZVisually assess your property for storm damage. Walk around the perimeter of the property and photograph or take note of any damage you see. Obvious signs of damage include missing roof shingles or tiles from wind and damage to roof vents, gutters, or window overhangs.
- ZCheck your shingles for obvious signs of damage. Though your shingles may appear undamaged, hail impacting a roof can cause extensive damage that leads to more serious problems if left undetected. It takes a trained professional to make this assessment.
- ZCall a trustworthy, reputable contractor. After a storm, it is important to have your home or business assessed by a trained professional at DuraShield. We provide photos and/or video documentation of the damages and a report of our findings along with a recommended course of action.
- ZCheck your gutters and downspouts for hail or shingle granules. If you notice any hail or roof granules at the end of your downspouts, this can be the first sign that you have roof damage. When your shingles are hit with hail, wind, or debris, it can cause your protective granules to slough off of your shingles, leaving them susceptible to water leaks.
- ZLook for signs of water leaks in your attic or upper floor ceilings. Even though your roof may appear undamaged from the outside, wind and hail may have caused leaks that can lead to problems later in your home’s interior.
- ZCall your insurance provider to file your claim. Refer to your notes and the report we provide you to get the claim started. An adjuster will be assigned to your claim and arrange an onsite inspection of the damages. Notify your DuraShield representative of the date and time of the appointment so we can arrange to be present.
