STORM SIGNS TO DOCUMENT

Start With What
Changed After the Storm

Record the storm date, the affected part of the home, and when the issue appeared. Look from safe locations only. Photos and notes help explain the concern; they do not replace a property-specific review.

WIND, RAIN & ROOF DETAILS

What Storms
Can Affect

Wind, heavy rain, and debris can affect more than one roof detail. The review should connect the storm report to the affected roof areas.

WIND & DEBRIS

Wind can affect shingles, ridges, and edges. Debris can damage roof covering, vents, gutters, or nearby components.

RAIN & WATER ENTRY

Heavy rain can reveal drainage or flashing problems. Water may enter away from the interior stain.

STORM DAMAGE ROOFING FAQ

Storm Damage Roofing Questions

Should I climb onto the roof after a storm?

No. Document what you can from the ground or another safe location. Wet, damaged, or steep roof surfaces can be unsafe, and a few extra photos are not worth the risk.

Is a ceiling stain always proof of storm damage?

No. A stain may appear after a storm, but the roof details and timing still need review. Water can also travel before it becomes visible indoors.

Does storm damage always mean roof replacement?

No. Some concerns may be repairable. Others may require inspection or replacement planning depending on the affected areas, surrounding condition, and roof-specific findings.

What should I save for documentation?

Save storm dates, safe photos, notes about what changed, interior moisture records, prior roof documents, and any written information you receive during the roofing conversation.

Can DeSantis Roofing decide what insurance will cover?

No. Coverage decisions belong to the insurance carrier and policy process. DeSantis Roofing can discuss roof conditions and roofing work, but cannot promise an insurance outcome.
