Why You Should Get a Roof Inspection After a Storm

Spring has just begin and we’ve already experienced several storms from hail to hard rains and winds. Storms have the potential to cause damage to your roof and it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected if you think you have any damage at all. Read on to find out four benefits of having a roof inspection after a storm.


1. To Find Damages You Can't See from the Ground. 

Storm damage to your roof isn't always visible to the naked eye, and especially from the ground. Getting up on a ladder and walking around your roof is quite dangerous, and it's best to leave the roof inspections to the professionals. They have the experience and expertise, knowing what to look for and how to properly walk on your roof without causing more damage.

2. To Save You Money in the Long Run. 

After a storm, it's easy to neglect seemingly minor repairs, but those issues can easily grow into bigger problems if not addressed. Not only can a timely inspection after severe weather catch storm damage, but it can also catch pre-existing problems that you may not have been aware of. Finding problems early on can save you a lot of money in major repairs down the road. Small roof repairs are much more affordable than a complete roof replacement, not to mention the possible damages to the interior of your home if a roof problem is left unattended to.

3. To Make Filing an Insurance Claim Easier. 

In order to file a storm damage claim with your insurance, you're going to need a professional roof inspection from a reputable roofing company at the Lake of the Ozarks. Even if you're already aware that there is in fact storm damage to your roof, you'll want to call in a contractor for an official inspection with a detailed report that you can then provide to your insurance company during the claim process. You're much more likely to get the reimbursement you need and deserve with a professional roofer on your side.


4. To Give You Peace of Mind. 

Just think about how you will feel after having a thorough roof inspection by a true roofing professional at the Lake of the Ozarks. Damage or no damage, a roof inspection will ensure that you are immediately aware of any roofing issues. This will give you a peace of mind knowing that your roof is in tip-top shape and has a great chance of withstand any future severe weather that may come your way. It's quite comforting to know that your roof will remain intact despite inclement weather.
