At Best Choice Roofing, we love serving the wonderful homeowners of Greenville, NC! Your home is more than just a place to sleep—it’s your safe haven, your retreat, and one of your biggest investments. And here in North Carolina, the weather can be, well… unpredictable. From summer storms to the occasional hurricane threat, Mother Nature doesn’t always play nice with our roofs.
That’s why it’s crucial to know what to do when severe weather strikes and your roof takes a hit. Whether it’s missing shingles, leaks, or a full-blown emergency, acting fast can save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress. So, if a storm leaves your roof worse for wear, follow these five essential steps to get things back in shape!
1. Assess the Damage (Safely!)
First things first—take a deep breath! Once the storm has passed and it’s safe to go outside, do a visual inspection of your roof from the ground. Look for:
- Missing or curled shingles
- Dents or cracks (especially if there was hail)
- Loose or fallen flashing
- Sagging areas or debris buildup
If you notice leaks inside your home. You should look for stains on your walls or ceiling. This shows that your roof may be compromised. Pro tip: Don’t climb up on the roof yourself—leave that to the pros!
2. Stop Leaks in Their Tracks
If you spot a roof leak inside, act fast to minimize water damage. Grab some buckets or towels to catch the dripping water and move furniture or valuables out of the way. If the leak is bad, a tarp over the damaged area (from a safe place) can provide some protection until better repairs can be made.
