One of the most common situations we are called upon to help with is cases of storm damage—if your property has been affected by a storm, you can turn to us to get the expert repair services you need. In this article, we’ll provide an overview of what to do in the event your home or business is damaged in a storm.
- Assess Safety – Before going outside to check your building for storm damage, always check your local weather station first to make sure the storm has passed. Then, walk around the perimeter of your building and examine the roof from the ground, making sure to watch out for fallen debris or power lines as you go. If there are holes in your roof or damage due to fallen trees, we encourage you to leave the premises until our team can fully repair the structure.
- Document Damage – As you perform your inspection, make sure to take photos of your roof, paying particular attention to any damaged areas. Ideally, you should have also taken photos of your building before the storm rolled in, but at least be sure to carefully record all instances of damage. You will need to submit these photos along with your insurance claim.
