Storm damage restoration becomes necessary immediately after any severe weather event that compromises your roof's integrity. Missing or damaged shingles, punctures from fallen branches, lifted flashing, and water infiltration all require prompt attention to prevent structural damage and mold growth. Even if damage isn't visible from the ground, high winds and hail can create microfractures and weakened areas that lead to leaks during the next rain. Elite Roofing Solutions recommends scheduling a professional inspection after every major storm to catch problems early, as insurance claims often have strict filing deadlines following weather events.
