Storm Damage Roof Repair

The roof is the only part of a house that really protects its residents from the elements. Wind, rain, snow, sun and bad weather are constantly hitting the roof of your house, and this combination can have serious consequences. By using a quality roofer and superior roofing materials, you are protected from all but the harshest of conditions. However, when the weather really hits, there's very little we can do to ensure the integrity of our roof. Repairing storm damage can be expensive, but it's much cheaper than letting it get worse and worse.

Why you shouldn't repair storm damage yourself

Regardless of the quality of your roof and how well you take care of it, certain conditions invariably lead to damage that must be replaced as soon as possible to prevent greater and much more expensive damage to the roof and structure of the house. Paying for a good storm damage roof repair is absolutely essential to preserving the integrity of your home, and getting the storm damage done quickly is vital too. Small cracks or holes can quickly lead to bigger problems, so get a quote from a trusted and respected company ASAP.

Few people really know anything about storm damage repair, and unless you've been in the unfortunate circumstance of doing it, you're unlikely to know where to start. Trying to repair storm damage yourself can be more expensive than paying a professional to do the job correctly. You obviously want to prevent rain and wind from entering the house, and if the storm has hit several homes in your area, it may take a while before you can get a roofer to come and fix your problems.

Temporary repair storm damage

Temporarily, you may want to consider safely placing some tarpaulin over the holes. It is important that you do it very safely and that you do not leave any space, no matter how small. If you leave even a small hole, the wind can easily pass under the tarp and tear it further away from the roof. You will need to attach the tarp to the outside of your roof because while attaching it to the inside can prevent it from getting caught in the wind, the rain will accumulate and enter the house, making temporary repair of damage caused by the storm useless .

Correct repair of temporary storm damage

The tighter you can pull the tarp over the hole, the better, so fasten one end securely, then slide it in gradually by pulling and securing it in place with plenty of roofing nails. If you tighten it enough with no holes, there's no reason for it to leak further while you wait for a professional roofer to come out and complete the required storm damage repair. Keep in mind that a full storm damage repair involves a thorough check of the entire roof first, and simply repairing the gaps that have formed may not be the full picture of what is needed.
