Storm Damage in Dallas Damages Roof

Water Damage Restoration in Dallas

A strong wind storm damaged this customer’s roof.  When this happens to any property, it is important to provide protection to the roof as you wait for it to be permanently fixed.  One way to protect your roof and your home’s interior is to install a temporary roof tarp.

A temporary roof tarp is a thick piece of weatherproof plastic.  When installed properly, a tarp will stop precipitation from entering your home and can last until the roof can be permanently fixed.  When DFW experiences hail or strong wind storms, many properties experience roof damage. The increase in volume causes a backlog for insurance companies and roof contractors alike, and a temporary solution is almost always needed to prevent secondary damage.

Secondary damage is caused from a primary damage that is not remediated on time.  For example, the primary damage for this homeowner was roof damage. If the homeowner let the roof go damaged and water is let in and causes water damage inside the home, the water damage and everything else it impacts would be considered secondary damage.  Unremediated water can also lead to the start of mold growth as quickly as 48 hours after the damage.

It’s vital for a homeowner to take care of the primary damage immediately as many homeowner’s insurance companies may deny your insurance claim if it finds the homeowner neglected their property and let the secondary damage occur.  

This property owner called us quickly, and our crews were able to install an emergency roof tarp before any secondary damage occurred.  We were able to inspect inside the home and confirm the area was safe and dry. In cases when water has permeated the roof and gotten inside, the wet areas are immediately mitigated and dried to help prevent a mold problem.  

Unfortunately, some roof damage goes unnoticed by the homeowner until water has permeated the roof.  A warning sign of roof damage can be brown spots on your ceiling.  If you notice any change in color on your ceiling, call us immediately.  We can do a roof inspection and also check your attic for wet spots and mold.  If mold is found, our team can set up containment and remediate it. We are a licensed Mold Contractor for the State of Texas, and we’ve helped many families with mold remediation, including black mold removal.
