Keep Your Roof Intact After a Georgia Storm Hits

When a severe storm hits your area, it’s more than likely your roof sustained damage in the aftermath. In Georgia, it’s common for homeowners to notice missing shingles, bent shingles, and cracked debris on their roof. Even if there isn’t visible storm damage from the wind, hail, and lightning characteristic of storms in the state, it’s also possible that your roof might have accumulated damage over the years from the forces of nature. Leaving any damage regardless of the size and severity of the storm’s impact could lead to more severe problems later on. Don’t wait too long before having your roof inspected or filing a claim with your insurance company. Ameristar Roofing is here to take the stress out of getting your roof back in excellent condition.

What to Look for After a Storm Impacts Your Home

More subtle roof damage will need to be assessed by a team of roofing professionals and specialists. However, there are more glaring signs of storm damage you may find yourself after the storm has passed. Some of these signs to look for include:

Fallen Tree Damage

Are there lots of trees where you live? It’s important to check for any fallen branches that might have hit your roof. Fallen tree branches and limbs cause shingles to collapse, crack, or break.

Unwanted Pests and Wildlife

Storm damage leaves your roof more vulnerable to invasion from raccoons, squirrels, and bugs. They need a place to stay and will make room near the attic vents. It’s not uncommon to find broken fascia boards, chewed wiring, and broken vents when nuisance animals find their way into your home after a storm.

Loss of Granules

After a storm, you can also check for any granule loss on your roof. This problem is especially most prevalent after a hailstorm. Normally, a roof can have granule loss and not need immediate repairs or replacement, but a hailstorm speeds up granule loss rate and significantly shorten the roof’s lifespan.

Flashing Damage

Strong winds during a storm are powerful enough to leave dents to the roof’s flashing, a protective layer of material used to cover the roof’s expansion joints to keep water out. More powerful winds lift the flashing off, leaving the insulation and covering at greater risk of sustaining additional damage.

The Ameristar Insurance Claim Process

After looking for roof damage, filing a claim with your homeowner insurance company is the next important step in getting your roof fixed immediately. Most insurance companies will cover storm damage as an Act of God. Ameristar Roofing walks you step-by-step through the process and eliminates the anxiety of filing an insurance claim on your own.
