Immediately after the storm Carefully inspect your home or business. Use extreme caution. Always be conscious of downed power lines. It is possible for severe winds to literally rip power lines from a house. Do not get on a wet roof. The already slick roof is far worse when it is wet. Loose shingles add to the danger factor. Assess damage to determine the next steps. Extreme damage – Call your insurance company. If you believe you are going to need temporary housing, call your insurance company immediately to understand the options available.

Heavy or moderate damage – Call a roofing and exteriors company. Unless you plan on doing temporary repairs on your own, Villanova Construction suggests reaching out immediately to a reputable roofing company, so you can quickly get on their schedule. And don’t ever sign paperwork or contract with a company that just shows up at your door. There’s a very strong chance are among the unethical “storm chasers” who may be unscrupulous and leave you with an even bigger mess. Minor damage – Schedule an inspection (or assessment) with a roofing and exteriors company.

Depending on the damage, it may be possible to do a repair for less than your deductible. In these cases, a licensed roofer, like Peak Roofing & Construction, has trained professionals that can assess the likelihood of an insurance company approving a full roof replacement as well as providing valuable information that will be helpful when you talk with your insurance adjuster.

It’s always a good practice to take photographs of all damage you see as you go through the post-storm checklist including your home, property, and cars. Don’t forget to document additional damage including fences, windows, dented charcoal grills, broken panels on the side of your A/C equipment, playground equipment, pool deck, etc.

Disaster remediation and cleanup involve potential exposure to hazardous conditions, such as:

Contaminated floodwater
Downed electrical power lines
Mold
Tree-trimming
Debris removal
Power generators and carbon monoxide
Construction activities
Unsanitary conditions

Therefore, it’s vital for people engaged in post-disaster cleanup and recovery to be aware of these risks and take adequate safety precautions. If possible, it’s highly recommended to seek qualified assistance from disaster cleanup companies or specially trained volunteers.

Here’s how to address water damage:

Remove any water that remains by pumping it out and drying out waterlogged surfaces. If there’s water in the basement, you have to pump it out gradually to avoid structural damage. Draining approximately 1/3 of water a day is an optimal solution to prevent the basement walls from collapsing. If drywall and insulation had contact with floodwater, remove them. Dry soft items outdoors in the sunlight, if possible.

Get rid of the items that absorb water to the point that they can’t be cleaned or disinfected. These often include toys, mattresses, and cosmetics. Try to remove vinyl floor coverings and tile to allow the substructures underneath them to dry. Use fans and keep the windows open to speed up the drying process. Another option is to keep the windows shut and use dehumidifiers.

If there’s any mold that has formed, clean it with a 1:1 mix of bleach and water while keeping the windows open and wearing protective equipment. Tackling the consequences of water damage can take weeks or even months, so be patient and thorough to ensure the property’s structural elements are fully dry before replacing elements like drywall, floor coverings, and carpets.

Hurricane Damage Roof Repair

Hurricane roof repair and restoration often begins with fixing structural damage to your roof. If you’ve just been through a hurricane that caused wind damage to your roof, you may have had parts of your roof lifted or entirely ripped off.

When severe roof damage occurs, it may not be enough to simply tarp or shrink wrap the affected area. If you’ve got sections of your roof missing, structural roof repairs will need to be completed first to build back a solid surface.

Then, you can install temporary roofing materials to prevent more roof leaks, while working through the insurance process to get a permanent replacement approved.

Stopping Roof Leaks From Hurricane Damage

Temporary roofing materials will help stop roof leaks and prevent further damage. Following a hurricane, temporary roofing can include emergency roof tarping if you need a relatively short-term solution.

When you’re looking for a longer-term temporary solution, shrink wrapping the roof may be the best option, as roof shrink wrap lasts longer than typical blue roof tarps.

If you have a flat roof, we may install a seam-welded loose lay TPO membrane as a temporary emergency repair. Below is a roofing project where the crew is laying a temporary TPO membrane after the flat roof was torn off.

Once the permanent roof replacement is approved by insurance, our crews will return to perform a total TPO roof replacement, including new insulation.
