Storm
Roofing materials are subject to damage from strong winds and flying debris. Generally, roofs are not designed to withstand winds of hurricane and tornado intensity. However, roofs may also be damaged by winds of moderate intensity, with gust that may reach 50 to 75 miles per hour. The primary cause of wind damage is from the partial vacuum created by wind blowing over the edge of the roof. Nature tries to neutralize the low-pressure area by bringing in air from a higher pressure area, usually from inside the building. This air pushes up on the bottom side of the roof assembly and, over time, loosens fasteners and breaks the adhesion making the roof susceptible to damage from the next moderate or strong wind. To counteract the effects of wind-uplift forces, the roofing and insulation should be adequately fastened to the roof deck, and a securely-fastened perimeter detail should be provided.

Fire
Even small fires can cause severe damage and be costly to repair. But, one call to Elite Roofing Solutions will immediately start the process of getting your life back on track.

Depending on the severity of the loss, securing property and personal safety should be of top concern. The corrosive nature of soot caused by fire requires extreme care and expertise to ensure that all surfaces and contents are protected from further damage during the cleaning process. It is also important to protect all occupants of the home from the ash particulates.

Flood
Water underneath shakes, shingles and other roofing material can cause extensive damage to your roof that will eventually filter down into your home and cause extra damage there as well. Water damage to your roof can lead to moisture collection on a roof deck or other area and cause roof structures to rot. In addition, the extra moisture may encourage moss & algae growth in other areas of your house, including ceilings, walls, electrical systems, and insulation.
