Strong storms may blow through the area at any time of the year. Some storms produce damaging winds that can blow shingles from the roof or even uproot a large tree that may crash into your home. Unfortunately, certain types of damage may not be obvious and smaller issues can turn into a bigger problem if left unattended. Cox Roofing, the top roofing contractors in Baltimore County, can repair any roof issues that you may have.
Can Insurance Help?
Sometime insurance can help pay for repairs if your home was damaged from wind and hail. If a tree falls on your roof during a storm, check to see if your dwelling coverage will assist you in paying to fix it. Personal property coverage will help you if the contents inside of your home are affected. Finally, other protection policies will help pay the costs of a shed or garage that was damaged by a storm. Be sure to read your policy to find out if windstorms or hail are excluded and what your deductible and coverage limits are.
Types of Damage Storms Cause
Leaks, damaged shingles and flashing, a hole in the roof, and broken gutters are common results of a strong storm. Additionally, missing shingles or debris puncturing the roof allow water into the interior. Rain damage to your roof means that the internal layers are subject to moisture which causes problems such as mold and rot.
Some issues can go unnoticed as the dings and holes that are in the roof may only grow until the next storm occurs and increases the problem. It’s important that you don’t walk around on your roof to look for damage. Instead, call a professional to inspect your home’s structure after a storm.
