What do I need to remember during a roofing emergency?
In the case of a roofing emergency, make sure you remember these three points:
- Do NOT go up on the roof yourself: A damaged roof is a dangerous roof, and you should let a trained and qualified professional be the first to go up and do an inspection
Cover the interior: Using plastic sheeting or tarping will protect the interior of your home and help prevent leaks and further damage
Inspect the roof visually: From the ground, take a visual inspection of your roof to note possible damage from trees or limbs
What are common causes of roofing emergencies?
An emergency involving your roof is any sort of damage that compromises the structural integrity and the roof’s ability to keep out water. This can happen any number of ways, but common occurrences include:
- Storm winds or wind shears blowing shingles off
- Tree branches rubbing or falling on the roof
- Fire from inside or outside the home
- Rodents or other animals chewing their way inside
- Delayed maintenance and natural wear due to weather and UV radiation
- Ice dams and ice buildup in valleys
- Improper installation practices
- Flashing failures at roof penetrations, including around chimneys, vent stacks, and dormers
