Why You Need a Professional When Dealing With Storm Damage
Whenever you\’re dealing with a bad storm, whether it\’s a tornado, a hurricane, a hail storm, a severe thunderstorm, or even just a lot of heavy winds, roof damage is absolutely a strong possibility. Sometimes strong winds alone are enough to warrant roof repair, or even roof replacement. It\’s important to quickly assess your roof and get a professional over there to help you take the next steps.
Evaluate the Damage
Once the storm has passed, get out there as soon as you can to evaluate the damage before you attempt any sort of cleanup. Document any problems that you see. Bad storms can rip shingles right off of your roof and causes tree branches to give your roof quite a beating. Look for signs of damage from the ground, and inspect your attic for leaks or water damage. Check the siding of your home as well. Stay safe in the event that you have downed power lines or fallen trees. Do not climb up on your roof by yourself.
Cleaning the Mess
For your safety, and the safety of your home, only clean up minor debris by yourself. You need to leave any heavy debris, leaning or falling trees, or anything that is heavily damaged up to the professionals. A professional can not only help you clean up, but can help your damaged trees properly recover and stay healthy. Your trees will require proper pruning and disease prevention in order to heal.
