Why Timing Matters After Storm Damage
When a powerful storm hits, your roof can take the brunt of the impact — from missing shingles and leaks to structural damage. At Kore Roofing, we know that quick action is the key to preventing more serious (and expensive) problems.
Immediate Steps After a Storm
-
Safety First: Once it’s safe, visually check for missing shingles, dents, sagging, or leaks. Stay off the roof to avoid injury.
-
Document the Damage: Take photos from multiple angles for insurance and contractor reference.
-
Temporary Protection: Use tarps or plastic sheeting to cover exposed areas until repairs can be made.
Recommended Roof Repair Timeline
| Damage Severity | Ideal Response Time | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Severe (structural issues, major leaks) | Within 24–48 hours | Prevents further water intrusion and structural compromise |
| Moderate (missing shingles, minor leaks) | 1–2 weeks | Allows time for inspection while avoiding escalation |
| Minor (cosmetic damage, no leaks) | 2–4 weeks | Still important to address before weather worsens |
