Storm damage to your tile roof

Storm Damage And Insurance Work - Brisbane Bayside, Redlands, LoganIf you’ve lived in the greater Brisbane area for any stretch of time, you will no doubt be familiar with our rather menacing and destructive storms. For example, one minute it’s hot and the sun is shining, and the next the sky is dark, the wind is blowing a gale and hailstones are falling from the sky.

These storms often rip large branches off trees and can even uproot entire trees themselves. And if a tree falls on your roof, it can be very scary as well as costly. Even hail can do a fair amount of damage all on its own if it’s big enough.

If you have storm damage to your tile roof, get in touch with us at Bayside Roof Repairs and Restorations. We’ve seen just about everything you can imagine – from damaged tiles, to holes in the roof, to roofs that need to be completely replaced.

We’ll assess the damage and get onto it as quickly as possible, especially if you have a hole in your roof, exposing you and your loved ones to the elements!

Insurance work for storm damage

Hopefully, if you’ve sustained damage to your roof during a storm (or any other incident), you’ll be covered by insurance. But the first thing you need to do is contact your insurance company to make sure you are covered for the damage.

Once they’ve confirmed that you’re covered, they will often want to assess the damage before giving you compensation options. This usually involves a cash payout or the option to get repair works billed back to the insurance company.

In any case, Bayside Roof Repairs and Restorations are very experienced with insurance work and making sure all requirements are met.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What should you do right after a storm?
When it’s safe to do so, walk around the exterior of your home. Look for:

Fallen branches or other debris
Damaged tiles, missing tiles, tiles out of place
Damaged or missing pointing
Leaks inside the house
Dripping noises inside the house

If you find any problems, promptly take photos and contact your insurance company. Do not climb onto the roof – only take photos from the ground. Call us and we will organise working with the insurance company and repair any damage. It’s better to wait for us to inspect the roof so we can do so safely.

Do you need to inspect the roof after every storm?
We recommend this, because you may not otherwise notice damage until it’s too late. While a damaged tile may not seem like a big deal, it can quickly grow into a major problem that puts your entire home at risk.
How can you prevent storm damage?
Storms are a given in South East Queensland, and we can’t stop them, so we can only prepare. We suggest trimming branches to reduce risks of them falling on your roof, keeping an eye on any damage to make sure a storm doesn’t worsen it, and scheduling regular professional roof inspections and maintenance.

If you know a storm is coming, take these steps:

Inspect the roof for any current damage, and get it fixed if possible
Clear out your gutters and drains
Bring in any outside items, or secure them (such as furniture, toys, tools, etc.)
Trim trees that could drop branches and cause damage
Be ready for an emergency by preparing some tarps and ropes

Can my roof be fixed on time before the next storm?
Yes. Most repairs will take a maximum of a few days, depending on the extent of damage. Call us and your insurance ASAP so we can get to work.
