As anyone who has lived in the Rochester, NY, or Buffalo, NY, areas for any length of time knows, weather plays a big part in our lives. When it comes to our homes, weather can play an even bigger part when roof storm damage occurs.
Felgemacher Roofing & Siding provides emergency storm damage roof service to initially protect the home with secure tarping followed by roof repair or roof replacement as soon as this work can be done.
How Storms Damage Roofs
Our area of New York is known for its severe winter storms as well as destructive storms at other times of the year. Even the best-built roofs can suffer damage caused by a variety of events.
Torrential rains
Any “minor” roof leak can quickly become major during a severe rainstorm.
Lightning strikes
No roof can withstand a powerful strike of lightning. This weather event can literally put a hole in the roof.
Snow buildups and ice dams
Heavy snow and destructive ice dams can wreak havoc with roofing materials and cause breaks in the roofing structure.
Violent hailstorms
Depending on the size of the hail and the duration of the storm, a roof can suffer widespread damage, leading to leaks and even more damage throughout the home.
Powerful winds
Wind can dislodge shingles and blow them away, leaving the roof’s underlayment, decking and truss system vulnerable.
Emergency Roof Service
During the storm or in its aftermath, if severe roof damage has occurred, the first action needs to be protecting the home. We do that with secure roof tarping that prevents rain and snow intrusion and gives us the needed time to properly assess the situation.
Roof Inspection Following Storm Damage
When the weather has cleared up a bit, we’ll do a thorough roof inspection that looks at:
- Roofing shingles
- Truss system
- Roof decking
- Underlayment material
- Attic, walls, ceilings and other parts of the home
Our roof repair crew can then get to work to either repair damaged sections of the roof or re-roof the entire house if the damage is widespread.
