Reducing Roof Storm Damage

There are ways to reduce storm damage before the actual storm hits. While some are easy enough to do all by yourself, others will require a roofing professional.

• Make sure the roof sheathing (plywood or boards nailed to roof trusses or rafters) is installed properly; you can inspect it in the attic. You’ll need to re-nail the sheathing if the nails aren’t secured to the rafters. Proper installation of roof sheathing ensures the wind forces of a hurricane are shifted appropriately to the ground.
• The side walls of the roof, also known as the end gables, can collapse during a hurricane. Enlist the help of a licensed professional to ensure your end gables are braced.
• During high winds, hurricane straps help keep the roof securely fastened to the walls. Once again, call on the help of a licensed professional to install these straps.
• Make certain your drains and gutters are cleared. Blocked drainage can cause standing water, which in turn can eventually cause your roof to cave in.
