Roofing Pups is here to help with roof storm damage. Our experts know how to handle all issues, including wind, hail, debris, tree, and water damage. In addition to our top roofing services, we also offer siding installation and gutter installation.
Roof wind damage is often a reason homeowners need roof repair services. The most considerable risk comes with winds from thunderstorms and tornadoes. Strong gusts and steady, strong winds can cause your roofing to lift. If strong enough, the wind can rip shingles or roof tiles off your house, exposing the underlayment.
Even if the shingles stay on your roof, the wind could damage them. The lifting action can bend or tear the shingles, which affects how well they protect your roof. It might leave the shingles curled along the edges or cause them to be loose. All of these situations leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and other damage.
Roof hail damage may include dents, cracks, loss of granules, and soft spots. Those issues could allow water to leak into your home through the roof. The extent of the damage often depends on the size and density of the hail, how long the hail storm lasts, and the intensity of any accompanying wind.
Repairs for hail damage depend on the situation. Hail damage tends to be random, so it might affect all of your shingles or only some of them. Replacing a few damaged shingles may be an option if you don’t have widespread issues. If the hail damage is severe, you may need a roof replacement to repair the damage.
Roof storm damage often leads to water damage and leaks. The initial storm elements can crack, curl, bend, or remove your shingles, leaving the underlayment exposed to the weather. With the roof unprotected, it’s easier for water to soak through the materials and into your home.
Water damage can be worse if your roof has issues. Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under your shingles, and any standing water on your roof can eventually enter your home.
If you notice water damage and leaks, you may need an emergency roof repair to prevent severe damage. Waiting to call for a roof leak repair lets more water into your home, where it can damage your ceilings and walls and cause mold growth.
Intense storms often send debris flying and cause tree branches to fall, potentially causing damage to your shingles. Roof tree damage can range from minor shingle damage to significant structural damage if a branch breaks through the roof. Roof debris damage can be just as severe, depending on what type of debris hits your home. Our shingle services include repairs and replacements, depending on the severity of the debris and tree damage.
Knowing what to look for can help determine if you need roof storm damage repair. Common signs include:
It’s not always easy to tell if you have storm roof damage, especially from the ground. You might be able to spot some shingle damage without climbing a ladder. Shingles in your yard or apparent gaps in your shingles are clear signs you need repairs. You can also check inside your attic to look for signs of moisture coming through the roof.
Common signs include visible damage to your shingles, such as curling, tears, cracks, bends, or dents. Your shingles might look displaced instead of neatly arranged. Other signs include missing shingles, discoloration, and water inside your home.
Check your roof for damage from the ground. Taking pictures of the roof and any shingles on the ground helps you document the damage. Call your homeowner’s insurance company to file a claim, and then call Roofing Pups for professional help. You may need to use temporary measures, such as covering the damage with tarps or catching water with buckets, to minimize the damage. Our service area includes Baltimore County, Harford County, Howard County, and Anne Arundel County.
Homeowner’s insurance usually covers roof storm damage caused by wind, hail, lightning strikes, and other covered perils. Contact your insurance company to find out for sure. For work that isn’t covered by your homeowner’s insurance, Roofing Pups offers roofing financing options that help make the repairs more affordable.
Having a professional roof assessment after storm damage is always a good idea. Professionals know what to look for when it comes to storm damage. They can recommend the best option for storm roof repair, whether replacing a few shingles or doing a complete storm roof replacement.
The most significant threats in Maryland are thunderstorms, hail storms, and wind storms. Ice storms in the winter could also cause severe roof damage.
Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure it’s strong and in good condition. Keep your gutters clean to allow water to flow off your roof quickly during storms. Trimming trees near your roof can reduce the risk of tree roof damage. If you’re ready for a new roof, consider durable materials like GAF shingles, designed to withstand heavy winds and impact.
Whether it’s roofing or siding, decks, gutters, roof snow/ice dam removal, or storm damage, Roofing Pups is your partner to make your home more beautiful, because your house is more than just a house, it's your home.
