Expert Tips on Dealing With Storm Damage

The first few hours after a storm hits are critical. If caught unprepared, storm damage can be difficult to deal with. But, don’t worry as your local storm repair experts, New View Roofing, shares a few tips on how to handle storm damage.

Expert Tips on Dealing With Storm Damage

TIP: Contact Your Insurance Provider and Roofing Contractor

We always recommend to clients and non-clients alike to have our number in case of roofing emergencies. Your insurance provider will require proper documentation of the storm damage as well as a quotation on the repair costs. Therefore, you should have both contractor and insurance adjuster on site as soon as possible. The sooner your insurance provider receives the required paperwork, the sooner you’ll get approval for your roofing repairs.

TIP: Avoid Storm Chasers and DIY Repairs

Storm chasers are itinerant roofers who follow the paths of storms, then suddenly turn up offering repair work. These unlicensed “contractors” can do more harm than good; their brand of substandard roof repairs provides a false sense of security. By the time another storm strikes and the quality of their repairs will be revealed, they will be long gone. Also, insurance providers are less likely to honor insurance claims unless repairs are conducted by professional residential roofers.

For the same reason, it generally is not a good idea to perform DIY repairs. In addition to risking voiding your warranty and getting your insurance claim denied, performing roof repairs is extremely unsafe. Ultimately, it’s better to leave the roofing work to well-equipped professionals.

TIP: Keep an Eye Out for Location Hazards

If your interior space isn’t flooded, keep everyone indoors while you inspect the rest of the property. Check all windows for broken glass, displaced furniture or large pieces of airborne debris. If there are warnings about downed power lines, call 911 or the utility hotline, and report the situation. Do not venture out of the house until it’s deemed safe to do so.
