Roof Damage

Have you experienced roof damage? Central Florida Property Claims is available for you 24/7, with an expert team of Central Florida Public Adjusters ready to help fix any problem from day one - we represent and manage insurance claims for commercial properties too!

Every year hurricanes, tropical storms, hailstorms, and afternoon thunderstorms deliver millions of dollars in damage to commercial and residential properties, making roof claims some of the most common insurance claims in Florida. Roof damage can affect the water sheading ability of the roof and can drastically shorten the service life of the roof. Steps need to be taken to prevent your property from further loss, and that is why it is important to be aware of damage done to your roof as soon as possible.

What Causes Roof Damage and How to Find Roof damage?

Roof damage can be found in a variety of ways based on the type of roof. Shingle roofs are highly susceptible to wind and hail damage. Wind damage on a shingle roof will be represented by missing shingles, creased shingles and roof damage created by flying debris. This damage is caused by the wind forcing the shingle up and down repeatedly. Eventually a crease is formed on the top of the shingle or the shingle is completely removed. It is important to know the difference between wind damage and other non-storm related damage such as thermal expansion which usually causes the lower left corners of shingles to become unbound. Our skilled public adjusters know the difference and will document all your storm related wind damage.

Hailstorms will cause roof damage to your shingle roof by causing a puncture to the shingle, reducing the service life. When looking for hail damage, it is important to look at other roof components such as roof vents. This will help determine the size of the hail. Just because there are hail marks, that does not mean there is roof damage. The threshold for hail to cause damage to shingle roofs is roughly 1 ¼ inch.

Concreate tile and slate roofs are highly resistant to wind damage, but high enough winds can displace tiles leaving the underlayment susceptible to water entering the home. Tile roofs will experience damage from hailstorms which can cause cracking of tiles which leads to future roof leaks. Given the natural durability of tile and slate roofs, the threshold for the size of hail required to cause roof damage is roughly 1 ¾ inch. Factors such as the angle of the hail fall, and impact areas can affect the degree of damage done.
