Immediate Steps After Suspected Roof Storm Damage

Storm damage requires quick, safe action to protect your property and support your insurance claim.

• Safety First: Stay off the roof—damaged or wet surfaces can be unstable and dangerous. Avoid areas with visible hazards like sagging ceilings or exposed wiring.
• Mitigate Further Damage (If Safe): Take reasonable temporary steps to limit additional water intrusion (e.g., buckets for leaks, tarps over exposed areas from a secure position). Keep all receipts—these are often reimbursable.
• Document the Damage: Safely photograph and video exterior signs (missing shingles, debris, dents) and interior issues (stains, moisture) with dates for your records and claim.
• Schedule a Professional Inspection: Arrange a prompt, expert assessment to accurately identify storm-related damage, hidden issues, and next steps—essential for effective repairs and claims.

Below are the most frequent scenarios we handle, with key indicators and recommended next steps to protect your property and strengthen your claim.
