STORM & HAIL DAMAGE

Protecting Your Home From Storm Damage

It’s important to call your roofing contractors in Minneapolis after a major storm, because it can be difficult to tell if your roof has sustained damage. But just because you escaped unscathed from a major windstorm or heavy hail doesn’t mean your roof is okay. After any storm, it’s a good idea to have a look around your yard and property for clues. Wind and hail that was strong enough to damage other structures means your roof could have also suffered. Look for any of the following signs:

Shredded foliage or downed branches
Large branches or debris that have landed on your roof
Blown over fences
Large hailstones or dents on vehicles from hail
Cracks on windows or chipped house paint, dented siding
Small pieces of roofing shingle to whole shingles on the ground

Many homes in the Minneapolis area have already been damaged by storms over the past few years, and homeowners may not even realize it. Even small leaks in roofs can worsen over time and cause thousands of dollars in water damage.

A hailstorm can be one of the most damaging disasters for a roof. Even if your roof appears to be OK, a hailstorm can result in hidden damage. The professional Minneapolis roofers from Family First Construction are specially trained and experienced to determine the damage and make corrective action. We will conduct an on-site inspection of your roof to determine whether or not the underlayment and supporting structure was damaged. Many times hailstorms produce no visible damage — only a trained roofing hail damage specialist can uncover hidden trouble.

If your roof has survived a hailstorm without clearly visible damage, that doesn’t mean the damage isn’t there. When hail hits your roof it creates a “bruise” which can crack the underlying membrane in your shingles and allow water to seep into your home. It may not leak the day after the storm but over time the water will find its way in. It's difficult to determine whether a shingled roof needs to be replaced after a hailstorm because the damage is not readily evident.

Our experts in Minneapolis roof repairs take the time to check the entire roof structure and gutter system. A large amount of granules collecting in a homes gutter troughs is a sign that the hailstorm has caused significant erosion of shingles.. It doesn't take much of a hailstorm to dislodge a significant number of granules from your shingles, thereby exposing the asphalt and shortening the service life of your roof.
