This situation is even worse when you have an emergency repair completed. However, with the help of Silver Leaf Contracting, this process doesn’t have to be a pain. Continue reading below to learn how you should proceed should you find yourself dealing with a roofing emergency in your Masillon home.
What is a roofing emergency?
When you have a roofing emergency, it’s not unlikely that you will be very aware of it. Roofing emergencies can have serious consequences, often resulting in very expensive water damage. The most common reasons people call our roofing company to have an emergency roof repair completed are:
- Deterioration of the roof that has been caused by long-term exposure to the elements and UV radiation.
- Broken, cracked or missing shingles caused by high winds
- Water being let back under the roof edges due to an ice dam
- Tree limbs causing damage when they are knocked down during a storm
- Flashing failure around penetrations of the roof such as the plumbing vent pipes, chimney or skylights.
How to avoid roofing emergencies
- Find a roofer you trust
This is the best tip we can give to people who are in need of roof repair in a hurry. We see so many clients who have already had a different roofing company attempt a repair to their roof but who missed the mark. This leads to them spending even more money to get their roof back to an optimal state. While you are likely in a hurry to find someone to complete your repair, be sure you aren’t rushing so much that you end up hiring a company you can’t trust. - Tackle repairs as they are needed
Having your roof inspected on a regular basis is a great way to prevent roofing emergencies from occurring. If a tiny problem is caught by your roofer when it first begins, it won’t have the opportunity to result in a roofing emergency. - Be familiar with your homeowner’s insurance and what it covers
You may not have thought about it, but your homeowner’s insurance may protect from certain events such as storms that cause you to need an emergency roof repair. You could potentially save yourself a bunch of money by simply paying attention to the details of your coverage. - Know where your utility shut offs are
Be sure to know where you electricity, water and gas shutoffs are located and how to turn them off quickly. This will allow you to avoid any potentially serious consequences if your roof becomes compromised in some way.
