After a severe storm in our area, common signs include missing or cracked shingles, granule loss in your gutters, dents or creases on metal components, and visible debris impact points. More subtly, you might notice leaks or water stains in your attic. It's wise to have a professional inspection from a local roofer like us to assess for hidden damage, such as compromised underlayment or lifted flashing, which can lead to bigger problems if not addressed.

In Rib Lake's climate, roof flashing—the metal strips sealing joints around chimneys, vents, and valleys—can fail due to extreme temperature swings, high winds, and improper installation. The expansion and contraction can loosen nails and sealant. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised section, inspecting the underlying deck for rot, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, weatherproof materials to ensure a tight, long-lasting seal that withstands our local weather.

First, ensure everyone's safety and avoid the damaged area inside if there's a leak. From the ground, if it's safe, document the damage with photos for your insurance claim. Then, take steps to prevent further water intrusion—use a tarp to cover the exposed area if you can do so safely. The most important step is to call a local roofing professional like Technical Roofing Solutions. We provide emergency assessments and temporary protections to secure your home until permanent, code-compliant repairs can be scheduled.
