We restore storm damage 24-hours a day in Macomb Township.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township has been restoring storm damage in New Haven for many years. Winters can be brutal, so your home or business should be inspected for visible signs of damage after any significant storm, high wind, or hail event. Here are some indicators of storm damage:

• Debris on the roof
• Dents in your siding
• Clogged or broken rain gutters
• Visible damage to the roof facia
• Visible signs of the roof flashing
• Water spots on your ceiling or walls
• Cracked, dented, or lifted roof shingles
• Missing roof shingles

Knowing your roof’s snow load is also important. If you don’t know your roof’s snow load, hire a structural engineer to verify the snow load threshold of the roofing system. This information will be important when determining if there is too much snow on the roof after an event. 

When it comes to the weight of snow, the type of snow is as important as the depth of the snow. For instance, fresh powder snow is typically lighter than wet-packed snow, and ice is heavier than snow.

 Snow Load Danger signs

Fresh snow – more than four feet

Packed snow – more than two feet

Ice – one inch or more

Several factors contribute to the acting load on your roof, including snow drifts from adjacent buildings or mechanical equipment, heavy rain on snow, and melting snow that refreezes.
