FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has sustained storm damage after driving rain in Decatur?
Look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, dented flashing, granules collecting in gutters, water stains on ceilings or attic rafters, and damp insulation. Because some leaks stay hidden in decking or underlayment, we recommend a professional inspection within 24–48 hours of a storm to catch problems early.
What should I do immediately after I notice storm damage to my roof?
Put safety first—stay off the roof and away from downed power lines. Document visible damage with photos or video, cover exposed areas with a tarp if you can do so safely, and call our 24/7 emergency line. We’ll dispatch a certified crew to perform a temporary “dry-in” and begin a full damage assessment for repairs or replacement.
Can driving rain cause hidden water intrusion even if the shingles look intact?
Yes. Wind-driven rain can push water beneath shingle laps, lifted flashing, or roof vents, leading to soaked sheathing and attic mold long before interior leaks appear. Our infrared moisture scanning and deck-level inspections identify trapped moisture pockets that can’t be seen from ground level.
How quickly can your Decatur storm damage team respond and secure my property?
During peak storm season we maintain on-call crews in Decatur and can usually arrive within 2–4 hours of your call. We’ll secure loose shingles, install emergency tarps, and schedule a full restoration plan, keeping you informed at every step.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage repairs in Decatur?
Most policies cover wind, hail, and rain damage caused by sudden storms. We provide detailed inspection reports, photos, and itemized estimates to streamline your claim. Our staff can meet with the adjuster on-site and advocate for all code upgrades required by the City of Decatur building department.
