Severe thunderstorms and the occasional high-wind event are a normal part of a Triangle summer. Here's what to do if you suspect storm damage to your roof.
Stay Off the Roof
Storm-damaged roofing can be unstable and slippery. Leave the inspection to a professional rather than climbing up yourself.
Document What You Can Safely See
Photos from the ground of any visible shingle damage, granules in gutters or downspouts, or debris on the roof help support an insurance claim and give your roofer a head start before the inspection.
Get a Professional Inspection Quickly
Even damage that looks minor from the ground can indicate a compromised roof. A prompt inspection also creates a timestamped record that supports your insurance claim if damage is found.
Call Your Insurance Company
We can meet your adjuster on-site and provide documentation of the damage to support a fair claim outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a storm should I get my roof inspected?
As soon as reasonably possible — within a few days is ideal, both to catch any active leaks early and to support a timely insurance claim.
