First, prioritize safety and avoid going onto the roof yourself. Document the visible damage with photos from the ground for your insurance claim. Then, call a local professional like Petersen Brothers for a free, thorough inspection. We'll assess the extent of the damage from storm debris, check for less obvious issues like compromised underlayment, and provide a detailed report to help you navigate the insurance process and plan the necessary repairs.

In our climate, poor ventilation is a primary cause of ice damming in winter and excessive heat buildup in summer. Trapped warm air in the attic melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the eaves, creating damaging ice dams and potential water intrusion. In summer, it strains your cooling system. We evaluate your current ventilation, often finding blocked or inadequate soffit vents, and design a balanced system to regulate temperature and moisture, protecting your roof's structure and improving home efficiency.

Hidden damage often reveals itself through subtle signs inside and outside your Bountiful home. Look for water stains on ceilings or in the attic, granules from shingles collecting in gutters, or sagging roof lines. Musty odors in the attic can also indicate trapped moisture. We recommend a professional inspection, especially after severe weather seasons. Our experts check the decking, flashing, and underlayment for weaknesses you can't see from the ground, ensuring minor issues are addressed before they become major, costly repairs.
