⛈️ Severe weather is expected across Central Indiana today. Is your home prepared?
When strong winds, hail, and heavy rain move through, the actions you take before, during, and after the storm can make a major difference if your home sustains damage.
That's why we put together this simple Severe Weather Checklist for homeowners:
📸 BEFORE THE STORM
Take photos and videos of your roof's current condition. Having documentation of your roof before a storm can be extremely valuable if you need to file an insurance claim later.
🏠 DURING THE STORM
Your safety comes first. Stay indoors and only document what you can safely see from inside your home. Take note of any water intrusion, ceiling stains, leaks, or loud impacts that could indicate hail or debris striking your roof.
🔍 AFTER THE STORM
Schedule a professional roof inspection. Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground, and some issues can go unnoticed until they lead to costly leaks and repairs. A professional inspection provides documentation of any damage and can help strengthen your insurance claim if one is needed.
Many homeowners assume their roof is fine because they don't see missing shingles from their driveway. Unfortunately, hail damage, lifted shingles, and compromised roofing systems are often hidden from view.
At Porter Roofing, we provide free, no-obligation roof inspections to help homeowners understand the condition of their roof after severe weather. Our goal is to give you honest information and the documentation you need to make informed decisions about protecting your home.
Stay safe today, save this checklist for future storms, and share it with friends, family, and neighbors who may find it helpful.
