Storm Damage Repair in Georgetown, SC

What Should You Do After a Storm Damages Your Home?

The consequences of wind, hail, or heavy rain can be severe for residents of coastal South Carolina. High winds are notorious for ripping roof materials clean off or causing them to crack and separate, leaving vulnerable areas. Large hailstorms can puncture and dent shingles. Excessive rainfall can lead to leaks and flooding which may weaken structures, disrupt electrical systems, and damage insulation. All these weather events put homeowners at risk of compounding issues, unanticipated expenses, and safety hazards.

When the clouds have parted after a severe storm and you suspect your roof is in disrepair, it is crucial that you do two things.

You should:

Mitigate immediate problems as best as you can, from tarping or boarding gaping holes to putting something in place to catch the water that is leaking into your home.
Call a professional for help. Never go up on your roof after it has sustained damage and attempt to inspect it yourself. Even checking it out from an attic or top floor can be dangerous. Without the proper training and experience, you could put yourself and your household in harm’s way.

At Lowco Roofing, we have provided numerous homeowners with storm damage repairs in Georgetown and Pawleys Island. When Mother Nature has given you hail and then some, contact us.

The Hazards of a Leaky Roof During a Storm

While a small leak in your roof might seem like a problem you can put off, it could have costly consequences in both the short and long terms—especially in coastal South Carolina where storms are frequent. If left unaddressed, leaks can introduce excess moisture over time that could cause wood to rot, metal fixtures to corrode, mold to grow, and paint to discolor. Should a large downpour hit, any kind of leak is liable to allow flooding and all types of water damage. The good news is that leaks are often simple and relatively inexpensive to fix, especially when you spot them early.

But how can you detect a leak?

Some signs show up inside your home, including unexpected mold on your ceiling or walls, water stains where there is no plumbing, and light shining through your attic or top-floor ceilings. Other signs you can detect by looking up at your roof. Anything from missing or damaged patches of shingles to separated flashing could indicate you have a leak or are susceptible to one in the future. If you notice any of these signs, do not ignore them.

With our storm damage repairs in Georgetown, your home can recover fast and be protected from inclement weather in the future. Call (843) 920-3353 or contact us online.
