Getting Your Home Back to Normal
Minnesota weather can be a pain. But we’ve got you covered. When it comes to storm damage there is a lot of false information out there. There are also a lot of storm chasers out there pushing this false information. We are here to simplify the process and provide the information that is needed to make important decisions. Whether it makes sense to do a minor repair or a total reroof, we will help by giving you options.
Wind
Wind Damage
Significant wind can cause shingles to blow off the roof deck. Missing shingles can lead to leaks and other interior damage. Other wind damage may not be easy to see, especially if the adhesive seal that provides a water-shedding surface is broken. To get an inspection on the scope of the damage, give us a call. Sometimes people don’t even know they have wind damage and it can lead to water leaking into their home.
All manufacturers publish a wind warranty on their shingles, and it’s important to compare the wind coverage when making your shingle selection on a new roof. If the winds that caused the shingle damage were above the manufacturer’s wind coverage, you’ll need to file an insurance claim. If they weren’t, contact the shingle manufacturer to file a claim.
Missing shingles and thin horizontal lines where granules have been worn off about 1-2 inches beneath the shingle above; this could indicate that the shingle seal was broken and the shingle was flapping in the wind, rubbing against the shingle above it; to be effective against the elements, shingles must be sealed to each other as one, water-tight roof deck.
Debris
Fallen Debris Damage
During some storms tree branches or other falling debris can land on your roof. Some items are small and won’t cause an issue. Other items are so large that you will naturally be concerned about the damage. Use your best judgment when deciding to take action. You may need to have a professional roofing contractor inspect your roof for damage. Depending on the scope of the damage you may need to file an insurance claim. If the damage is isolated and minimal, then a repair will be the most cost-effective way to proceed.
Potential signs of debris damage:
- Visual identification of debris on the roof deck.
- Missing shingles.
- Cracked shingles.
- A large pile of granules at the end of your downspout; a small amount is normal, however, especially for new shingles.
