What to do in the first hours after a storm
A Michigan storm can do in twenty minutes what years of normal wear ne helo
The job right after a storm is to stop more water from getting in, not to rebuild the roof that same day. A roofer covers the open or torn section with a heavy tarp, battened down at the edges so the wind cannot lift it. That buys time to handle the repair the right way instead of rushing it in the rain. While they are up there, they photograph every bit of damage, the lifted shingles, the dented vents, the bruised field, and note where the water got in. That record is what an insurance adjuster needs to see, and it is far easier to gather now than after a second storm muddies the picture.
- An emergency tarp goes up fast to stop water before it reaches the attic.
- Damage gets photographed and logged the way an insurance adjuster needs it.
- Hidden hail and wind damage gets found before it turns into a slow leak.
- A clear written report tells you whether a repair or a replacement is the fix.
- Acting in the first day keeps a storm loss from spreading across the deck.
