Tips For Making Storm Damage Repairs

No matter how prepared you may think you are when your Bartlett home has suffered damage due to a storm or other disaster, it can be a stressful time. Having a go-to roofing company that you can count on in the wake of a storm can make all the difference in the ease of making needed storm damage repairs to your property.

We've put together a few helpful tips to assist you in the event that you find your Bartlett home in the eye of the storm.

Ensure That Your Loved Ones Are Safe

The most important thing you can do when the unexpected happens is to check on the safety and well-being of your family members, pets, and neighbors. Before a storm strikes, it's recommended that you designate a safe space within your home like a basement, bathroom, or interior closet where your family will be protected. Once the storm has passed, make sure that those in your household are safe and secure before calmly assessing any damage to your property.

Take Good Notes & Document Damage

Before venturing outside, be certain that the storm and high winds have passed. You may be able to make some assessments by looking out of your windows. Some of the most common types of storm damage include downed trees, missing or damaged shingles, scattered debris, or damage to your gutters and soffits. Use a camera or your cell phone to take photos which can be beneficial to your claims process.

Safety First For Reasonable Repairs

It's important that you never go up on your roof to assess damage after a storm. Roof inspections should always be left to a reliable roofing company. If you happen to have water coming into your home, you can move your personal belongings away from water leaks or broken windows, Heavy items can be covered with a tarp. The safety of your family should always be your first concern - leave your storm damage repairs to the professionals.

Contact Your Insurance Company

While modern technology has taken much of the guesswork out of initiating the insurance claims process, disruptions to your cell service can throw a wrench into the works. If you're not able to immediately file your claim, having good documentation will support your claim once you're able to reach your agent. Your roofing company can also provide you with a roof inspection and assist you with your claim to ensure that needed storm damage repairs are covered.
