When Tree Damage Happens to Your Roof
It can be a frightening experience to have a tree fall on your roof during a storm. In the heat of the moment, everything will seem chaotic and out of control, especially if tree damage occurs in the middle of the night. The first thing you want to do is get everyone to a safe space.
When it is safe to do so, here is what you need to do:
- Document the tree damage via photographs or video. You don’t need to go into unsafe areas to photograph the evidence properly. Don’t move any fallen debris or fallen branches, and stay out of the damaged areas. Photograph any damage to personal belongings and other property as well.
- Call your insurance company to alert them about the damage. They will want to see evidence of the damage for their investigation. EC Roofing can work with all insurance agencies to process insurance claims for roof replacement or repairing a roof.
- Hire a tree removal expert to remove the tree and other debris safely. They know exactly how to dissect the tree without causing further damage to your property or others. Once tree removal is complete, a roofing expert can come in and inspect the damage.
Your final step will be to have a roofing company come out and inspect your roof to assess the damage and give you an estimate on repairing or replacing your roof. EC Roofing can come and inspect your tree damage and give you our expert recommendation for repairing or replacing your roof.
