Buildings are made to provide shelter from the elements. However, some storms cause significant damage, especially to roofs. Here, the contractors at CWC Roofing and Exteriors explain four reasons to invest in a roofing inspection after a storm. 

Why You Should Schedule a Post-Storm Roofing Inspection 

1. They Can Spot Problems You Might Miss

You should check the roof regularly for visible signs of damage, such as missing or broken shingles and holes or leaks. But sometimes storms can cause minor issues that aren’t easy to spot. When these aren’t found, they could become more extensive and expensive over time. A post-storm inspection can save you time, money, and stress in the long-run. 

2. You Won’t Risk Your Safety

Roof repair and inspections require extreme caution, mainly when the roof may be weak or otherwise structurally damaged. If the storm caused severe damage, the materials might not be strong enough to support your weight. Contractors can assess and repair the roof in a safe manner. 

3. You Need an Inspection to File an Insurance Claim

The contractor will specify in their report precisely what the damage is and how much it will cost to fix. Some insurance companies won’t accept a claim until you have an inspection. This professional report will help you get the full amount you’re entitled to. 

4. It’ll Give You Peace of Mind

A structurally compromised roof could put your home or business in danger, and you may not realize how extensive the damage is by assessing on your own. When you get a professional roofing opinion, you’ll be sure of the structure’s condition.
