Common Types Of Storm Damage We See

Storms can damage more than shingles. For that reason, we check the full roofing system, plus related exterior areas that affect drainage and moisture control.

Wind Damage

Strong gusts can cause shingle damage by peeling back shingles, snapping tabs, and exposing underlayment. Sometimes we find lifted edges that look minor from the yard, but they let water in during the next rain.

For fast, dependable wind damage repair Warren homeowners can rely on, we inspect the roof surface, roof flashing, ridge caps, and ventilation areas where wind-driven rain often gets inside.

Hail Damage

Hail can knock off granules, bruise shingles, and shorten the roof's life through hail damage. Even small impacts add up, especially on older shingles.

If you suspect hail damage roof Warren Michigan residents often see after spring and summer storms, we'll look for soft spots, granule loss, and pattern damage across slopes.

Debris And Tree Impacts

Branches can crack shingles, dent vents, and break flashing. Larger impacts may damage the roof deck and create hidden leaks. We'll check for punctures and weak spots, then recommend the right repair approach.

Gutters, Siding, And Window Issues

Storms often pull gutters loose or clog them with debris, sometimes requiring professional gutter installation for proper function. As a result, water can back up under shingles or spill against siding and foundations. We also watch for damaged screens, cracked glass, and loose trim, since water entry points are not always on the roof.

Short-Term Steps To Protect Your Home After A Storm

For emergency roof repairs after a storm, if you have an active leak, safety comes first. Keep things simple and focus on limiting water damage until we arrive.

• Act quickly: Use buckets to catch dripping water. Then place plastic or towels under the area to protect floors.
• Check ceilings: If drywall is bulging or holding water, relieve pressure carefully to reduce the chance of collapse.
• Use a temporary patch if safe: Roofing tape from the inside can slow small leaks until roof leak repair starts.
• Move valuables: Relocate furniture and electronics, or cover them with plastic.

For emergency storm damage Warren MI homeowners face after heavy rain or wind, call as soon as possible. We'll help you stabilize the situation, then schedule the soonest available inspection.

After The Storm, Start With A Visual Check

Once conditions are safe, begin storm damage inspections by noting obvious issues while you wait for a professional assessment. Stay on the ground, because wet shingles and hidden damage make roof walking risky.

Conduct a Visual Inspection and Schedule a Professional Inspection

When the storm has cleared, get in touch with a roofer as soon as possible. Most roofing companies are unable to get there immediately, so you can begin taking notes and completing a visual inspection of the roof.

• The Roof: While it's safest to wait for a roofing contractor to get up on the roof for a close-up inspection, you can still conduct a visual inspection of the roof from the ground. Look for dented, torn, curled, or missing shingles. You can also try to take pictures for insurance purposes, but the roofing company may also do this as a part of the inspection process.
• Gutters, Vents, and Windows: Look for damage caused to the roofs vents, gables, flashing, as well as the gutters and windows. Storm damage can cause broken gutters or they can begin to pull away from the roof. Look for windows with broken glass or cracks, loose weather stripping, or torn screens.
• Attic and Ceilings: If you didn't have any leaks during the storm, it doesn't mean that there isn't still a chance of water damage. Ceilings throughout the home, light fixtures, and the attic should all be thoroughly inspected for leaks and water damage.

During a roof inspection, the contractors at Smart Roof will look at every detail of your home, both inside and out. As experts in the roofing industry, we know the most common places for leaks to occur and can quickly recognize signs of damage that has occurred on the exterior of the house. After we have completed a comprehensive inspection of the entire roofing system and structure, we will provide an honest opinion for the best course of action, whether that's repairs for minor damage or a full roof replacement if the damage is severe enough to warrant it.

The Insurance Claims Process For Storm Damage

No one likes working with insurance companies, but they are a key part of the process and will ensure that you can get a new roof without having to pay from your own pocket. The team at Smart Roof will offer our support and guidance throughout the process.

• Document Any Damage: Before you start cleaning up after the storm, be sure to document all of the damage that has occurred. You can provide pictures or videos of the damage to the insurance company.
• File a Claim: When you file a claim with your insurance company, they will send a claims adjuster to inspect the damage and to create a report that documents what is required to fix or replace the roof. Claims adjusters will determine how much the project will cost based on the current average cost of materials in your area.
• Receive an Initial Check From the Insurance Company: When your insurance claim is approved, you'll get a check from them. Depending on your policy, you'll get the insurance's estimated check for ACV (Actual Cash Value) or RCV (Replacement Cost Value). When the roof has been repaired or replaced, you'll get a final check from the insurance company for the recoverable depreciation, which is the amount the insurance company determined that your roof has depreciated.
• Hire a Roofing Contractor: When you have selected a roofing company to complete the job, it's important to share with them all of the insurance claim paperwork. This will ensure that the roofer is completing the work that has been approved by the insurance company, and you won't inadvertently commit insurance fraud.

The insurance process can be confusing and stressful, but an experienced roofing company will know the details of the process and can guide you through each step.
