Throughout life, people face different situations that make
repairing different parts of our Orlando real estate a necessity. One of the most vulnerable and essential areas of a property is the roof. Did you know that many damages can affect the roof of your Florida home? From Claim Pacific, we will tell you about some of them!
Although the roof is a part that is usually very resistant, since it is exposed to outside factors, it is essential to have it covered by homeowners’ insurance. This way, if it gets damaged, we can file a claim with the insurance company, and they will cover the corresponding repairs.
The following are the most common damages that can occur to the roof of your Florida property:
Damage to your roof that may require a public adjuster
Humidity Damage
Humidity can seep into the roof of your Miami property from a variety of sources, including rain, hail, snow, or ice. Moisture can cause mold, mildew, fungus, stains, or rotting on the roof, which can affect its structure and insulation. Regularly inspecting your roof and gutters and repairing any leaks or cracks you find is important to avoid this problem.
If you are experiencing moisture problems or your roof has been damaged by moisture, contact the professional public adjusters at Claim Pacific. We can prepare a Florida homeowners insurance claim and get you fair compensation for restoration.
Wind Damage
It is common for roofs to be affected by wind-related factors that can tear or dislodge shingles, exposing the underlayment. This can allow water, insects, or animals to enter the roof and cause further damage. To prevent this damage, it is advisable to secure the shingles with nails or appropriate adhesives and to replace any loose or broken tiles. We recommend that you take the precaution of hiring a public adjuster to file a claim with your homeowner’s insurance company if you need to repair any damage to your roof.
Tree Damage
We cannot underestimate the problem of trees near the roof, which can cause various complications, such as falling on the roof during a storm or an accident, rubbing the shingles with their branches, or depositing their leaves or fruits on the roof or in the gutters. To avoid this, it is advisable to prune the trees regularly and maintain a prudent distance between them and the structure.
Animal Damage
Some animals can access the roof and cause damage, such as gnawing shingles, gnawing holes or nests, leaving droppings or food, or carrying disease. Some of the animals that can cause roof damage are squirrels, birds, bats, rats, and raccoons. To avoid animal problems, it is advisable to seal any holes or cracks in the roof, install screens or wires in the openings, and use repellents or traps to repel animals.
