Oklahoma is no stranger to severe weather. From tornadoes to hailstorms, our roofs take a beating. Here's what you need to know about assessing and addressing storm damage.
Immediate Steps After a Storm
1. Safety First Never climb on your roof after a storm. Wet surfaces are slippery, and structural damage may not be visible.
2. Document Everything Take photos and videos of any visible damage from the ground. This documentation is crucial for insurance claims.
3. Contact Your Insurance Company Report the damage as soon as possible. Many policies have time limits for filing claims.
Signs of Storm Damage
- Missing or damaged shingles - Dents in gutters or downspouts - Granules collecting in gutters - Visible holes or cracks - Water stains on interior ceilings
Why Professional Inspection Matters
Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground. A professional inspection can identify hidden damage that could lead to bigger problems.
