Storm Damage to Commercial Roofs
Prepare for Summer Storms: Protect Your Roof
Summer brings with it the potential for severe weather—wind, rain, and hail—that can wreak havoc on your roof system.
Rain: Ensure your roof is properly sealed to prevent water from penetrating into the building.
Wind: Strong winds can dislodge areas of your roof, causing potential vulnerabilities.
Hail: Hailstorms can fracture the roof membrane and impact the integrity of your building’s roof.
It’s crucial to have an experienced professional assess any storm damage promptly. Unlike the residential sector where homeowners may immediately contact their insurance company after a hailstorm, in the commercial world, it’s advisable to first consult a roof expert.
Instead of calling your insurer directly, reach out to a roof expert who can assess the damage firsthand and act as your advocate when meeting with the adjuster. This proactive approach ensures that all damage is accurately identified and properly covered by your insurance policy.
Even if only a small area of your roof appears damaged, it’s important to understand that wind can delaminate the membrane underneath, potentially leading to future issues during subsequent storms.
Having a qualified expert evaluate your roof ensures a thorough assessment and collaborative effort with your insurance company to maximize coverage.
