Storm Damage On Roofs
Iconic Roofing has been around for several years and has been a staple in the Birmingham, MI area. We specialize in storm damage on roofs and have experience repairing roofs from both hail storms, windstorms, and more.
On average, damage from a storm can be quite costly. Without insurance, end costs to customers can be in the thousands of dollars. Insurance can lower costs significantly, but it doesn't protect against all possible costs. The truth is that hail storms and windstorms cause damage to roofs that most people don't think about until it happens to them. That's why it's important for you to know what types of potential damage there are from these storms so that you know what repairs may or may not need done to your home or business. |

Here is an overview of how these storms affect roofs:
1 ) Hail storms -
Hail storms are often associated with thunderstorms and heavy rain squalls. Hail storms can produce large hail, up to baseball size, and often cause roof damage. Hail storms produce large amounts of wind that can bend roof trusses and rafters, causing them to buckle. Hail storms also cause damage as a result of flying debris such as broken tiles, shingles, and tree branches.
2 ) Windstorms -
As the name implies, windstorms are caused by high winds. Windstorms are not as common in Birmingham area as they are in some other parts of the world but they do occur occasionally.
3 ) Snow -
Snow melting off roofs can cause a series of problems that lead to roof repair costs. If a home or business has snow or ice on their roof, this can lead to roof leaks. When water gets into the roof, it can freeze and affect the structure of the roof.
4 ) Heat -
Upon initially noticing that there was water on your roof, you may think that it is just one small leak in a front gutter. However, if this is the case, you may not realize how bad of an issue it actually is until it freezes over and causes damage to your home or business.
5 ) Ground Water -
The ground around a home or business and the soil on the roof can both contribute to roof repair costs. Roots and ground water can work their way up into a roof and cause it to leak or even rot the entire structure of your home.
6 ) Hail Damage -
This can also be caused by hail storms or windstorms. If you are in an area that is susceptible to hail storms, please make sure that your insurance company is aware of this fact so that you are not surprised by high out of pocket costs when it happens to you.
7 ) Structural Failures -
The wood in your home or business may begin to rot if there is water leaking into it. If your home or business is experiencing structural failure, this is likely to be caused by an indirect cause such as major hail damage or a windstorm.
Keep in mind that the amount of damage and the costs associated with repairing your roof may not be covered by your insurance unless there is a specific entry in your policy that specifically covers hail damage. So when one of these storms hits, make sure to call a professional roofer to inspect your home and determine which repairs are most likely needed. If you have any other questions about hail damage on your home or business, please feel free to contact Iconic Roofing.
