Storm Damage Roof Repair

High winds, hail and severe weather can damage a roof in ways that are easy to miss from the ground. Borum Roof Company helps Southern Illinois property owners understand what happened, what needs attention and what to do next.

Damage Isn’t Always Obvious

Know What the Storm Left Behind

Some storm damage is visible immediately. Other damage may show up later as leaks, missing materials or premature roof deterioration. A professional inspection can help determine whether your roof was affected.

01

Wind Damage

Strong winds can lift, loosen or remove shingles and expose vulnerable areas of the roofing system.

02

Hail Damage

Hail can affect roofing materials even when damage is difficult to identify from the driveway or yard.

03

Leaks & Water

Storm-created openings can allow water into areas that were dry before the weather event.

04

Debris Damage

Falling limbs and wind-driven debris can damage shingles, flashing and other roofing components.

Once the condition is understood, we can discuss the appropriate repair or replacement options.
