Preparing Your Home Before a Storm

Taking proactive steps can reduce storm damage and save you from costly repairs. Here’s how to get ready:

1. Inspect Your Roof

A sturdy roof starts with regular checks. Look for signs of wear like cracked or missing shingles or damaged flashing around vents. Not sure what to look for? Alabama Roof Detectives LLC offers FREE roof inspections to spot potential issues. Scheduling a checkup before Alabama’s storm season ramps up can prevent small problems from becoming big ones.

2. Secure Your Property

High winds can turn loose items like lawn furniture, tools, or branches into projectiles that damage your roof or siding. Walk your property to secure or store these items. Trim overhanging branches and consider consulting an arborist for weak trees that could fall during a storm.

3. Maintain Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters can cause water to pool on your roof, leading to leaks or structural damage. Clean out debris and ensure gutters are firmly attached. Gutter guards can be a smart investment to keep water flowing during heavy rains.

4. Review Your Insurance Coverage

Before a storm hits, verify that your homeowner’s insurance covers wind, hail, and other storm damage. Take photos or videos of your home’s current condition, focusing on the roof, siding, and windows, and store them securely in the cloud. This documentation can make insurance claims smoother and faster.

5. Prepare an Emergency Plan

Create a storm safety plan with your family, identifying a safe shelter area like an interior room or basement. Stock up on supplies like tarps, flashlights, and batteries for temporary fixes or outages. Keep Alabama Roof Detectives LLC’s contact info (205-826-4915) handy for quick post-storm support.

What to Do After a Storm

Once the storm passes and it’s safe to assess, follow these steps to protect your home and start recovery:

1. Stay Safe

Avoid inspecting your property until hazards like downed power lines or unstable structures are cleared. Never climb onto a damaged or wet roof—our team at Alabama Roof Detectives LLC has the tools and expertise to assess safely.

2. Document All Damage

Take clear photos or videos of any damage to your roof, siding, windows, or interior. Look for signs like missing shingles, dents in gutters, or ceiling water stains that may indicate leaks. These records are essential for insurance claims and can prevent disputes over pre-existing damage.

3. Make Temporary Repairs

If your roof has exposed areas or leaks, cover them with a tarp or plywood to limit further damage. Only do this if it’s safe, and keep receipts for materials, as your insurance may cover these costs. Our team can step in for professional temporary fixes.

4. Contact Your Insurance Company

Report damage to your insurer promptly to start the claims process. Provide your documentation and be present for the adjuster’s visit to highlight all affected areas. Alabama Roof Detectives LLC can support you with detailed inspection reports to strengthen your claim.
