Protect the opening
A temporary covering limits further water entry where safe and suitable. It is not a new roof or a completed repair.
What to do after roof storm damage
A practical path from the noticed problem to a roof assessment.
Free roof inspections Repair and replacement options
Start with safety and the actual roof
A wind or hail concern is a reason to inspect the roof, not a conclusion that it needs replacement. Start with safety and the actual condition at the property. An active leak, damaged covering and an insurance question each need their own answer.
After a roof storm concern
You can tell us the property address and what changed; a roofer handles the roof access.
1
Keep people away from hazards
Stay clear of downed lines, wet electrical fixtures and sagging ceilings. Do not climb a wet or damaged roof.
2
Say if water is entering
An active opening changes the immediate conversation about safe temporary protection.
3
Get the roof condition assessed
The inspection checks covering and transitions, then considers repair compatibility and the size of the permanent work.
A storm report does not diagnose the property
Weather reports describe observations at a place and time. A roof’s actual damage depends on what happened at that property and the assembly’s condition. Do not assume a neighbor’s new roof or a reported hail size proves the same damage at your address.
Temporary protection and permanent repairs
These serve different jobs.
Repair the damaged assembly
The final work reconnects covering, protective layers and flashing to sound material. Concealed damage can change the scope.
