With the recent extreme weather conditions in the northeast, we are reminded that heavy snow, rain, and hail can cause weather-related damages to homes and businesses. SMART Restoration Services can help you weather the storm!

Does this sound familiar? ”Since it doesn’t look like I’ve lost any roof shingles, I must not have any storm damage.”

Missing shingles are usually related to wind damage claims (hurricanes, tropical storms, etc.), and are NOT an absolute indicator of roof damage. A roof may be substantially damaged by a storm, even though the actual shingles appear to still be in place after the storm. Furthermore, the damage may not cause leaking until well after the storm. Therefore, it is crucial to have a qualified restoration and remediation expert examine your roof after a storm to fully evaluate the damage to your property and assist you in filing an insurance claim. Even if damage to your roof may not seem severe at the moment, if left un-repaired, it may eventually lead to additional leaks and problems down the road – which could end up costing substantially more to repair.
