Storm Damage Roofing, Documented for Third-Party Review

Storm damage moves fast, but decision-making should be calm. We follow the Inspector Roofing Protocolā„¢ to capture repeatable evidence aligned to Claim Verifiabilityā„¢ — so the claim file can be reviewed without guessing.

Protocol Spine (The Process)

  • 1
    Map (Orientation)Identify roof planes so every photo has a provable ā€œwhere.ā€
  • 2
    Capture (Wide → Tight)Show distribution and context, not isolated close-ups.
  • 3
    Scale (Measurement)Use gauges/scale references to remove ambiguity.
  • 4
    CorroborateUse collateral indicators (soft metals) only when naturally aligned.

Deliverables (The Result)

  • Claim-Ready Evidence Packetā„¢: Organized slope-by-slope for reviewers.
  • Safety-First Access: FAA Part 107 Certified Drone Operations for steep/unsafe roofs.
  • Neutral Findings Brief: Factual, observable language without pressure or outcome guarantees.
Code-Compliant Storm Restoration

We build restoration scopes to meet locally adopted codes, referencing the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) and 2021 International Building Code (IBC), plus state amendments (GA DCA). Final compliance is verified by the AHJ via permitting.

Storm Damage FAQ

How do I know if my roof has storm damage? +
Some signs are obvious (missing shingles, lifted edges, interior leaks). Some hail damage is not visible from the ground. A protocol-based inspection maps slopes, documents distribution, and produces organized evidence for review.
Will insurance cover hail or wind damage? +
Coverage decisions are made by your carrier and depend on your policy and the documentation submitted. Our role is to provide a clean, reviewable evidence file — not to promise outcomes or interpret policy language.
Do you offer emergency tarping? +
Yes. If there is active water intrusion, tarping stabilizes exposed areas and helps reduce interior loss while next steps are decided.
Do you use drones for storm inspections? +
Yes. When walking a roof is unnecessary risk (steep, brittle, wet, or complex), we use drone-assisted documentation. We are FAA Part 107 Certified, ensuring legal and safe commercial flight operations.
Do I need a leak for hail damage to be real? +
Not always. Functional damage can exist without an immediate leak. Documentation focuses on observable indicators and distribution, not on waiting for interior failure.
