Storms can cause a lot of damage to your home, and you may be concerned about the roof and any water leaks that could occur due to roofing damage. In addition to your roof, you may also have problems with drainage and damage to the exterior and windows around your home that need to be addressed. Here are some of the repairs that you will want to add to your to-do list after the storm blows over:

1. The Damage to Your Roof and Structure That May Need Repair

The roof of your home is one of the most vulnerable areas that can be damaged during a storm. This is often wind problems that cause shingles to be lifted up or blown off your roof. In addition to the wind damage, you will also want to look for signs of hail damage that can cause leaks. Trees that have fallen can also be a problem, and there may be damage due to downed trees, even if the tree is far away from your home.

2. Damage to Siding and Other Exterior Features Around Your Home

The siding and exterior finishes of your home can also be damaged during a storm. Just like the shingles on your roof, siding can get blown off. There may also be damage from trees and objects around your home. Look for obvious signs of damage as well as problems like loose pieces of siding, missing trim, or damage to brick and masonry. If these problems go unnoticed, they can lead to leaks and serious water-damage problems.

3. Wind-Blown Debris Causing Broken Windows and Other Damage

There is also the problem of wind-blown debris, which can often cause broken glass and other damage. This is often due to trees that have fallen or branches that are close to your home. When there is a tree that has been damaged in a storm, it may need emergency trimming or removal to keep your home safe. When debris is on utility lines, do not go near them and contact a professional service to help. The wet branches of a tree can carry an electrical current that can cause injury.

These are some of the repairs that you will want to add to your to-do list after the storm blows over. When the repairs are too big for you to handle, a tree-removal service such as Robert Jefferies Logging & Tree Service can help with wind-blown debris from trees and other damage.
