Our Storm Response Priority: Stopping Water Damage

Suppose you discover a significant leak, or a tree, branch or other debris damages your roof during a storm. In either case, calling for emergency roof patching is vital for several reasons. Maybe most obviously and importantly, the sooner you stop the water intrusion, the less damage it will do. It will also be easier to dry out the area and minimize repair costs.

Limiting the extent of water damage is particularly important in places like Houston. There, high humidity and slow drying of building materials and belongings can create an ideal breeding ground for mold and other fungi.

Emergency patching can also greatly reduce future headaches and repair expenses. Those problems can arise if water damage spreads unchecked throughout the day or night. You may then need to tear out drywall and flooring and throw away furniture or personal belongings. You may also have to pay out of pocket for expensive repairs and home replacement.

Can I submit an insurance claim for roof damage after a storm?

Homeowners insurance typically won’t cover flooding from natural ground-up water sources. Those include overflowing rivers, storm surge from a hurricane or flooding caused by heavy rains. However, it should cover roof leaks or rain entering through roof damage or broken windows caused by debris or falling trees.

Still, things can get more complicated if you don’t act quickly to stop water intrusion and minimize damage. As a homeowner, you do have an obligation to take appropriate steps to prevent unnecessary damage from occurring or worsening.

Temporary tarp patching shows the insurance company you did what you could to minimize the cost of the damage. Be sure to keep all temporary repair receipts. That’s because your insurance should cover any costs you incurred for temporary patching, in addition to the cost of permanent repairs.

Working with experienced roofers who will document the damage can also help with your eventual roof damage claim. For example, the emergency storm response team at Perkins Roofing will document the damage.
