Storm Damage

Seattle’s wet climate and frequent rainfall make roof durability and maintenance a top priority for homeowners. Constant exposure to moisture can lead to issues like moss and algae growth, which can deteriorate roofing materials over time. Additionally, heavy rain, wind, and occasional snow can cause wear and tear, leading to leaks, damaged shingles, and weakened structural integrity. The region’s occasional storms and fluctuating temperatures also contribute to roof aging, making replacements necessary more frequently than in drier climates.

To combat these challenges, many Seattle and Washington homeowners invest in high-quality, weather-resistant roofing materials like metal, composite shingles, or treated asphalt shingles. Regular inspections and timely replacements ensure homes remain protected against the elements with Roofing Owl. We are here to help prevent costly water damage and maintain one’s property value.

Seattle Storm Damage

Roofing Owl is an expert with storm damage and has years of experience dealing with insurance and the claims process. We work with you the homeowner on the damage caused from a storm. With an honest inspection and report we will determine if the damage present is enough to go through the insurance process. If the damage is enough Roofing Owl will help from start to finish on getting your home back to pre-storm condition!

We are not shy on getting the insurance to cooperate and pay for the damage that is present. Whether your home was damaged from wind, hail, tree branch or anything else, Roofing Owl is an expert and we can help! High winds during storms can loosen or remove shingles, exposing the underlayment and decking to water intrusion. Additionally, falling tree branches—common in Seattle’s tree-lined neighborhoods—can cause significant structural damage, sometimes puncturing the roof entirely. In the winter, ice accumulation and freeze-thaw cycles can further weaken roofing materials, leading to cracks and water infiltration.

Given Seattle’s wet climate, it’s essential for homeowners to regularly inspect their roofs, clear gutters of debris, and address any storm-related damage promptly to prevent costly repairs and extend the roof’s lifespan.

Prevent larger, more costly repairs

Removing moss, algae, and accumulated debris helps prevent deterioration and structural damage which is very common occurrence in the Pacific Northwest. Sealing small cracks and replacing damaged shingles promptly can prevent minor problems from escalating.

Keep you and your family safe

Professional roof repair from Roofing Owl can detect hidden issues that may not be visible from the ground. By staying proactive with roof maintenance, homeowners can protect their investment, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the overall safety and durability of their home.

Signs Your Roof May Have Storm Damage

How a Roof Repair Gets Done Repairing a roof involves several steps, depending on the type and severity of the damage. Here’s a general breakdown of the process:

Moss and Algae Growth

Washington’s damp environment encourages moss, algae, and lichen to grow on roofs. If left untreated, moss can trap moisture, leading to rot and shingle damage.

Water Leaks or Stains

With the heavy rainfall common in the Pacific Northwest, leaks are a serious concern. Signs of a leak include: – Water stains on ceilings or walls – Damp spots in the attic – Mold or mildew growth inside your home.

Missing or Damaged Shingles

Frequent rain, windstorms, and even falling branches can loosen or damage shingles. Look for: – Missing, cracked, or curling shingles – Granules from asphalt shingles collecting in gutters – Exposed nails or bald spots on the roof. With any of these signs there is potential to call insurance a file a claim. Many of these common damages are a greater cost than your deductible. Oftentimes a few missing shingles can actually lead to a full roof replacement through your homeowners insurance.

Sagging Roof Sections

Heavy rain, snow, or excess moisture can weaken a roof’s structure. A sagging roofline could indicate: – Rotted decking underneath – Structural damage needing immediate attention.

Flashing Damage Around Chimneys and Vents

Flashing seals off areas where water can seep in, such as around chimneys, skylights, and vents. If flashing is cracked, rusted, or missing, leaks are more likely to develop.

Ice Dams in Winter

In colder parts of Washington, such as the Cascades, ice dams can form on roofs. These ridges of ice prevent proper drainage, causing water to back up under shingles.
