Lafayette Roofing Roof Inspection Professional Experienced Roofer

A powerful rainstorm or hailstorm can cause a lot of damage to your property. Some is obvious – such as broken windows and shingles fallen from your roof. But in many cases, your roof can suffer damage that is not obvious to the naked eye.

Here is why you should always call a Lafayette roofing residential roofer to perform an inspection after the storm:

1. You Will Need to Submit an Insurance Claim in a Timely Manner

Your insurance company has specific deadlines to submit a claim after a covered event. If you miss it, your claim will likely be denied. Thus, if you start noticing problems with the roof several weeks after the storm, you will probably have to pay for repairs out of pocket.

2. Small Damage Will Propagate Over Time

Small cracks in the roof will get bigger and expand to an increasing area. Thus, the issue which could be easily fixed at an affordable cost will turn into a major roof repair project. This is something that you can’t easily afford without putting a big dent in your family budget.

3. A Damaged Roof Makes Your Home Unsafe

Any opening in the roof is the entry point for mold, mildew and fungi into your home. From the attic, mold and fungi spores will make their way down to the rest of the house – and eventually will get inside your lungs. Many people suffer from asthma and severe allergies due to exposure to mold, mildew and fungi, so this is a truly dangerous problem.
