Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a storm should I have my roof inspected?
As soon as it's safe — ideally within 24–48 hours. Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground, and hidden issues like membrane tears or shifted flashing can lead to leaks days or weeks later.
Will my insurance cover storm damage to my flat roof?
Most commercial property insurance covers storm damage, but the specifics depend on your policy and the documented cause. We provide detailed damage reports and photos to support your claim.
Can you stabilize my roof right after the storm?
Yes. If your roof is actively leaking or exposed, we can perform emergency stabilization — tarping, sealing, water diversion — to protect your building until full repairs can be completed.
Can snow and ice actually damage a flat roof?
Yes. Heavy snow loads stress the structure, ice dams block drainage, and freeze-thaw cycles expand and contract seams. These are common causes of flat roof failure in Northern Indiana winters.
How do you tell the difference between storm damage and normal wear?
Storm damage typically shows sudden, localized issues — membrane tears, lifted flashing, punctures from debris. Normal wear develops gradually. We document everything clearly so there's no ambiguity for insurance purposes.
Do I need a full replacement after major storm damage?
Not always. If the damage is localized and the rest of the roof is sound, targeted repair is usually sufficient. We'll assess the full roof and give you an honest recommendation.
