Common Storm-Related Damage to Be Looking For
It isn’t just the rain that you have to deal with, and if that was all it wouldn’t be so bad. But with the rain come high winds, and these can tear things apart, as well as blow debris around causing additional damage. When looking for roofing damage, we are looking for leaks in the roof, lifted roofing materials from the strong winds, as well as potential drainage issues. All of these will cause your roof to have a shorter lifespan.
Getting repairs started as quickly as possible on your HOA roof is important, and this often means getting the details of the damage submitted to insurance quickly. By law, insurance companies must acknowledge a hurricane claim within 14 days from submittal and then must approve or deny it within 90 days. This is a long time, and most insurance companies operate faster than this, often within 30 to 60 days. Once the approval comes in, we can get to work on the repairs.
Letting Things Go Can Result in Fines and More Damage
An HOA that doesn’t make plans for hurricane aftermath cleanup and inspections can open themselves up to legal exposure, which makes things much worse. Also, the longer it takes to protect a property and get things repaired, the more likely it is that other damage can happen, especially if subsequent rains and other weather issues persist. HOAs would do well to have important numbers on file and ready to use, such as contacting a licensed commercial roofer like us to get moving on things.
No one wants to deal with the repercussions of hurricane damage in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Dania Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas, but the negative effects of not dealing with them is much larger.
