Dealing with the aftermath of storms can be frustrating and stressful. The good news is that our team at Southern Exteriors Roofing can provide you with the repairs you need and assistance with insurance claims. When faced with roof storm damage, it is critical to act quickly and carefully to guarantee safety and proper repairs.
Consider the following steps needed to ensure the insurance claims process and the repairs go smoothly
- Focus on Safety First: First, check for immediate hazards such as downed power lines, debris, and other potential hazards on your property. If you find anything that appears hazardous, avoid that area. Additionally, if the damage is significant and your home appears unstable, stay somewhere else until it is safe.
- Document the Damage: It’s important to take clear images and videos of all visible roof storm damage. This documentation will be necessary for insurance claims. In addition, write down details of the damage, including the storm’s date and time, as well as any urgent steps taken.
- Contact Your Insurance Company: Review your insurance coverage to determine what is covered and what your deductible will be. Also, notify your insurance company as soon as possible to get the claim process started.
- Contact a Professional Roofing Company: Contact an experienced roofing team, preferably one with experience in roof insurance claims, to assess the damage, temporarily cover the damaged areas to prevent further water penetration and assess what else is needed. By choosing a team with experience in roof storm damage and insurance claims, you gain peace of mind that the process will go smoothly.
- Finalize Insurance Claims: Provide your insurance company with all necessary documents, including documentation of roof storm damage, repairs or replacements needed, and anything else they may need. We can also assist with this process to help you get the maximum benefits.
