Storm Damage? Here’s What to Do Next 

When a storm hits, the safety of your home and family becomes a top priority. In the aftermath, assessing and addressing any damage is critical, especially when it comes to your roof. J Bos Inc. Roofing Services offers comprehensive guidance and solutions for storm-damaged roofs. Here’s a step-by-step plan on what to do next if your roof has been compromised. 

Safety First 

The immediate aftermath of a storm can be chaotic. Ensure the safety of your family by staying indoors until the storm has fully passed. Once it’s safe, assess the damage from the ground; never climb on the roof as it might be unstable or slippery. If you suspect major damage, consider temporarily relocating to a safe location. 

Document the Damage 

Before clearing any debris, document the damage thoroughly. Take photos and videos from various angles, making sure to capture the extent of the damage. This documentation will be invaluable when filing an insurance claim. Remember, detailed evidence can expedite your claim process. 

Contact Your Insurance Company 

Promptly notify your insurance company about the damage. Provide them with the documentation you’ve gathered. Most policies cover storm damage, but it’s crucial to understand the specifics of your coverage. Your insurance provider will guide you through the claims process and set a date for the inspection. 

Secure Your Roof Temporarily 

While waiting for the insurance adjuster, it’s important to mitigate further damage. If it’s safe to do so, cover any breaches with a tarp or plywood. This temporary solution can prevent water from entering your home, minimizing additional damage.
