If you have any storm damage, SERVPRO of East Greenville County is here to help. We are available 24/7 and ready to assist you when you need it

Being a homeowner comes with a long list of responsibilities. Different areas of your home require more or less attention depending on the space. Potentially, the most important area of any home is the roof. It protects your home from harsh storms, hail, fallen debris and more. For this reason, conducting a roof inspection regularly is a great preventative measure to guarantee your roof is intact and in good condition. 

Review this checklist so you know what red flags to look for.

• Shingles that may be missing, moved, bent, curling or blistering.
• Identify flashing and rubber boots, then check for cracked caulk or rust spots.
• Look for masses of moss, as this could reveal your roof is decaying from underneath.
• Debris build-up in your gutters.

If any of the problems mentioned are found on your roof, your home is at risk. These problems give way for water damage, storm damage and eventually mold. Weather does not wait for normal business hours to cause damages. Whether your damages occur during the middle of the night or in the middle of your lunch, our team at SERVPRO of East Greenville has trained storm, water and mold specialists ready to respond when you need them most. Always take preventative measures, but rest assured we can make it seem "Like it never even happened."
