Storm Damage
What kind of damage results from severe storms? Severe storms in Michigan can result in roof damage including downed trees landing on roofs, shingles broken, loosened, or blown off, holes in the roof involving both the top layer of shingles and the wood roof sheathing underneath it. Hail and high winds can remove large patches of protective granules. Water can be driven up underneath the shingles causing additional water damage. A compromised roof must be repaired to return it to waterproof protective status. It is easy to hope for the best and ignore the roof until a leak is visible in the interior of the house or business, but that is a bad mistake.
By the time the interior rooms of a building have water leaks, the water has infiltrated the roof and layers of insulation, ceiling material, roof and ceiling joists and possible electrical wiring. To dry everything out, replace damaged materials, and repair or replace the roof is very expensive. No one wants to look at water stained ceilings or have belongings damaged by the dirty water leaks. Roof leaks can damage carpet and wood flooring. Water sitting inside walls and between the floors of a building can cause a dangerous mold infestation.
