The Storm Damage Checklist of a Professional Highlands Ranch Roofer

Sudden torrential rain, strong winds, and hail are common events. Their consequences are roofs that leak, damaged houses, and people who need emergency professional roofing services. Here are the typical operations on the storm damage checklist of a professional Highlands Ranch roofer:

Looking for water infiltrations - water leaks on the ceiling under the roof indicate that there is some damage to the roof. However, not all leaks are obvious so checking the attic, the insulation layer, and the exterior walls of the house in the area where infiltration was observed inside are equally important operations.

If the roofing specialist finds moisture on the exterior walls or areas where there are signs of damage to the exterior finishes, they will make additional checks on the rainwater collection system, i.e. gutters and downspouts. They must not be clogged or have elements detached, deformed, or cracked from freezing-thawing cycles.

After completing the visualization of the problems related to the pluvial system, the roofer proceeds to the visual verification of the roof, looking for any displaced materials, cracks, or uncovered areas. The storm damage checklist of a Highlands Ranch roofing professional must also include the areas around the skylights, attic windows, chimneys or ventilation ducts coming out through the roof, as well as the solar panels installed on the roof, satellite dishes, etc.
