Without a roof, your house would not be home. A roof provides shelter, security, and protection from all outside elements. When your roof becomes damaged from those outside elements, like a tree falling on it during a storm or large hail puncturing through it, it's important to seek professional help right away to prevent any further damage. But who do you call when something like this happens in the middle of the night or on the weekend? Is it considered an emergency? What are the common causes of emergency roofing repairs? Below, we will help answer these questions to provide you with knowledge, so you will know what to do if something like this happens to your roof. What is considered an emergency? If a roof is allowing water to enter the home, caving in, or looking like a potential hazard, then it most definitely needs to be repaired ASAP. In most instances, a roofing company in Columbia can address the issue right away with a temporary solution until the weather permits and the roofing company can map out a plan and schedule with you at the time to determine the exact issue and its costs. What are the common causes of emergency roofing repairs? There is a variety of things that can cause roofing emergencies. It is your job, as the homeowner, to react quickly as soon as you notice your roof's damage. Here are the more common causes of roofing repair emergencies: Rain- Rain, in general, should not cause any issues to your roof, but if it rains for a long period, the more it can affect your roof. For example; your roof may have an area that forms a crevice in which it will gather the rain for the total duration of the storm causing that area of the roof to weaken. If it becomes weak, the easier it is for holes and leaks. Hailstorms - When weather conditions get severe and form into hailstorms, the hail in Columbia can cause major storm damage in a matter of minutes. You might not notice the damage during the storm, but for precautions after each hail storm, it's best to inspect your roof to make sure the hard hail did not puncture the roof. High winds - High winds can affect your roof because of the effects it can have on trees close to the roof. The high winds can knock over a tree into your roof and home, causing a large puncture to its form. Who do you call? You call a professional roofing company that provides a 24-7 emergency hotline. Do not call in a panic. The damage to the roof is already damaged. Once you call the roofing company, they will send over help to prevent issues from worsening. It's also best to contact your insurance company to analyze what's covered and what is not. Together, yourself and the roofing company can go over your coverage to determine a plan of action best for your roofing needs.
