After a severe storm, your roof can endure hidden damage that isn't always visible to the untrained eye. As a homeowner, it’s natural to feel the urge to inspect your roof yourself. However, there are several key reasons why a professional roof inspection is the best route to ensure your home is protected.
1. Unseen Damage Detection
Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, there could be underlying issues like small leaks, weakened shingles, or damage to the roof’s structure. Professionals are trained to spot these issues before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.
2. Accurate Assessment of Storm Damage
Storms can cause varying types of damage—from hail dents to wind-lifted shingles. A professional roofing company, like Ark Covering & Restoration, knows exactly what to look for based on the type of storm that hit your area. This ensures a comprehensive assessment and helps you understand the full scope of any damage.
3. Insurance Claim Support
Filing an insurance claim for storm damage can be a complex process. A professional inspection provides a detailed report that you can present to your insurance company. This documentation can help speed up the claims process and ensure you get the compensation you deserve. At Ark Covering & Restoration, we assist our clients by providing thorough reports and even working with insurance adjusters to make sure everything is accounted for.
4. Avoid Future Issues
By addressing storm damage early on, you can prevent further problems down the road, like leaks, mold, or even structural damage. Small issues can quickly escalate if left unaddressed, but a professional inspection allows for immediate repairs, safeguarding your home and family.
5. Safety First
Climbing on your roof after a storm can be dangerous, especially if there is unseen damage that makes the structure unstable. Professional roofers are equipped with the right tools, safety gear, and experience to inspect your roof safely.
6. Preserve Your Warranty
Many roofing manufacturers require regular inspections and maintenance to keep your roof's warranty valid. A professional inspection ensures that any necessary repairs are documented and completed according to warranty requirements, protecting your investment in the long term.
