WHY YOU SHOULDN’T IGNORE STORM DAMAGE
WATER LEAKS
Damage shingles/siding allow water to leak into your home, causing damage,
and shortening the lifespan of the exterior of your home.
LOWER ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Openings in your roo昀椀ng material let outside air in and inside air out, spiking monthly
energy bills.
INSECTS & CRITTERS
Mice, ants, termites, and other creatures can break in through damaged areas and
make themselves at home.
INSURANCE CLAIM PERIOD TIMES OUT
If you wait too long, your insurance company won’t be able to cover the cost to 昀椀x the
repairs.
SHORTER LIFESPAN
The longer you wait to 昀椀x your home, the larger damage areas will become.
HAIL
No matter the size, hail can be incredibly damaging to your property. From hailstones as
small as nickels to larger stones, it can cause both functional and non-functional damage,
including bruising and granule loss to shingles, dents to gutters, holes in siding, and
damage to exterior windows. Over time, these bruises can reduce the shingles’ ability to
shed water, which can in turn nullify the manufacturer’s warranty. Therefore, it is important
to take proper steps to protect your property from the potential effects of hail.
WIND
The force of strong winds and 昀氀ying debris can damage roo昀椀ng materials. Generally, roofs
are not built to withstand hurricane or tornado winds, but can be damaged by winds with
gusts of 40-75 miles per hour. Over time, these winds can loosen fasteners and diminish the
adhesion of the roof, making it more susceptible to further damage from even moderate
gusts of wind.
