Certified and Guaranteed Wind Damage Roof Repairs in Bellevue
Bellevue sees its fair share of strong storms, and the heavy winds that blow branches onto your roof. But even a moderate gust can cause wind damage, and a hefty repair bill if the resulting leaks are not repaired in time. Luckily, you can spot most tree damage during a simple inspection inside and outside the home. Similarly, a roofing contractor will identify serious issues if you hire them to conduct a roof inspection, as recommended, every 1-2 years.
How to Spot Wind Damage After a Strong Storm
Winds more than 45mph cause the most tree damage. At speeds such as this, large tree branches and weak limbs can break and end up hitting – and damaging – your roof. As a result, make sure you perform the following checks after each storm. That way, you will spot problems before they turn into serious leaks and a costly roof replacement.
First, look at your roof from a distance and check for loose shingles. Damaged shingles allow water to seep into your home, leading to damp and mold that are not only health hazards, but also expensive to fix.
While you are outside, take the opportunity to look for a second issue: damaged flashing. Wind can easily lift this up, especially around the chimney, allowing leaks to develop and penetrate the interior.
Although it is important to check for external wind damage, you can also spot the tell-tale signs from inside the building. Keep an eye out for a build-up of damp or moisture on your walls and ceiling. This is confirmation of a leaking roof, and you will need to take rapid action to prevent it from spreading to the rest of your home.
