Storms are unpredictable and can create a mess not just in your yard, but also wreak havoc on the integrity of your home. It’s your roof, gutters, and siding that bear the brunt of Mother Nature’s wrath, acting as the first line of defense.
Imagine this: a storm hits your area, bringing along torrential rain, howling winds, and perhaps even hail. Once the storm subsides and it’s safe, you step outside and inspect your home. You notice a few shingles on the ground, the gutters seem to be overflowing despite the rain ceasing, and there are visible cracks in the siding.
What do you do next? It’s a situation no homeowner wants to find themselves in, but being prepared is crucial.
Storm damage to your roof often shows itself in the form of missing shingles, leaks, and dents from hail. These indicators may seem minor at first glance, but when ignored, they can lead to extensive and costly damage down the line. For instance, those missing shingles can lead to water seeping into the underlying layers of your roof and causing leaks inside your home. Not to mention, the constant battering from hail can lead to premature wear and tear.
Your gutters aren’t safe either. Debris like leaves, twigs, and hail can accumulate and block the water flow. The heavy rainfall, on the other hand, may lead to your gutters bending or even detaching from the weight. In either case, you’re left with gutters that can’t properly direct water away from your home.
And what about your siding? Storms can be harsh on them, leading to cracks, warping, or loose panels. This damage not only affects the appearance of your home, but it can also let moisture infiltrate, leading to issues like mold growth or rot.
That’s why it’s so crucial to act fast. Delaying repairs after a storm can lead to further damage. Water intrusion can cause rot and mold growth, structural issues can arise from continuous water exposure, and let’s not forget the potential decrease in your home’s aesthetic appeal.
