Fayetteville Storm Damage Roof Repair

Storm damage roof repair in Fayetteville is something every homeowner here should know how to arrange. The city's hot, humid summers produce sudden thunderstorms, and the wider record is plain: an EF3 tornado struck Fayetteville on April 16, 2011, Hurricane Matthew crossed North Carolina on October 8, 2016, and Hurricane Florence came ashore near Wrightsville Beach on September 14, 2018. After a storm you may find shingles in the yard, a limb on the roof or water on a ceiling. Call (910) 748-5341 today for a quote.

After A Storm

Start from the ground. Walk around the house and look for shingles or pieces of flashing in the yard, dented or hanging gutters, limbs resting on the roof and dark patches where shingles are missing. Then check the attic and the ceilings for fresh water marks. Stay off the roof and away from any downed power line. If the roof is open, our roofers can cover it and then plan the permanent repair. We are committed to making storm damage roof repair in Fayetteville simple and reliable.

Wind Damage

Wind does not have to tear shingles off to damage a roof. It lifts the edges, breaks the adhesive strip that holds each shingle down, and leaves a crease across the tab that later cracks and leaks. Ridge caps, the edges and corners of the roof, and loose flashing go first. In northwestern Fayetteville, the 2011 tornado destroyed about 150 houses and damaged at least as many more, and the pines of the Sandhills add limb and tree strikes to the list in any strong wind. Our roofers check for creased and unsealed shingles as well as the missing ones.

Documenting Damage

Storm damage is often an insurance matter, and you should contact your insurer about your own policy and what it requires. Whatever your policy says, good records help. Take dated photos of the roof from the ground, of any debris, and of every stain or wet area indoors before anything is moved. Keep the receipts for tarps and other emergency materials. Our roofers can photograph the damage on the roof itself and describe in writing what they found, so you have a clear record. Our team is fully committed to reliable storm damage roof repair in Fayetteville.

Flooding And Heavy Rain

Wind is half the story. Matthew brought 10 to 14 inches of rain to Cumberland County on ground that was already soaked, and after Florence the Cape Fear River crested at 61.4 feet near Fayetteville, about 35 feet above flood stage. Rain of that kind finds every weak joint on a roof, so leaks that appear days after a storm are worth a professional look.
