Storm Damage Can't Wait
A roof that's been hit by wind, hail or falling debris gets worse every day it's left uncovered. Water finds its way in fast, and what starts as a small leak can turn into damaged decking, insulation and ceilings if it sits too long. Fast assessment and, if needed, emergency tarping are the first priority after any storm.
Signs of Storm Damage to Watch For
- Missing, cracked or curled shingles after a windstorm
- Granules collecting heavily in your gutters after hail
- Dented gutters, vents or flashing
- Visible light coming through the roof deck in the attic
- Water stains on ceilings following a storm
- A tree limb or debris strike anywhere on the roof
Working With Your Insurance Company
Pennsylvania homeowners insurance typically covers sudden storm damage, including wind, hail, falling trees and lightning. It generally does not cover general wear and tear or aging. A contractor can document the damage with photos and a written assessment that supports your claim before you file or during the adjuster's visit, though the coverage decision itself is between you and your insurance carrier.
Local note: NW Pennsylvania sees frequent spring windstorms, summer hail, and ice dam damage in winter across Venango, Crawford, Warren, Forest, Clarion, Butler and Mercer Counties. If a storm just came through and your roof looks off from the street, it's worth getting it checked before the next one rolls in.
How the Process Works
- Same-day or next-day inspection after a storm, when possible
- Emergency tarping if the roof is actively leaking
- Full photo documentation for your insurance claim
- A written repair estimate
- Repair scheduled once you're ready to move forward
