Storm damage

Storm damage? No problem. We've got you covered.
Central Illinois is no stranger to severe weather conditions. From hailstorms to tornadoes, your roof can take a beating. And while you may be ready for rain or shine, your roof might not be. Storm damage is no joke, and Blackhawk Roofing is here to ensure your roof doesn’t suffer. Our team of expert roofers can repair any storm damage to your residential or commercial roof.
It’s that time of the year again. The storm season has hit us hard, and the damage to roofs in Central Illinois has been terrible this time.
Strong winds during a storm can cause shingles to lift and even tear off your roof. And don't even get us started on the damage hail can generate. Mother Nature has decided to use your roof as her punching bag. Blackhawk Roofing has seen it all, and we're ready to tackle any damage your roof has suffered.
Our team is available 24/7 to repair the storm damage to your roof, whether a small leak or a significant repair. We take pride in our reputation as the best roofing company in Central Illinois, and we're committed to helping you protect your property with our top-notch services.
Common types of storm damage
Let's talk about storm damage. We're talking about the type that can cause serious harm to your roof—hail, wind, ice, and thunderstorms.
Hail can range from a tiny pea to a large grapefruit. When these icy spheres fall from the sky, they can cause significant damage to your roof, leaving pockmarks and dents everywhere. And in case you didn't know, the largest hailstone ever recorded in the US was a whopping eight inches in diameter. Yikes.
Now let's discuss the wind, which can knock down trees and power lines. If it's strong enough to do that, it can cause severe damage to your roof.
Ice is another culprit for roof damage—the type that can accumulate on your roof and cause problems, from leaks to damaged shingles. A cubic foot of compacted snow on your roof can weigh 30 to 45 pounds. That's a heavy load!
Finally, we have thunderstorms. They may be awe-inspiring, but they can punch out your roof. Lightning strikes, heavy rainfall, and high winds are just a few of the things that can cause damage.
Effects of storm damage on your roof
As the best residential and commercial roofing company in Central Illinois, Blackhawk Roofing knows all too well just how damaging storms can be. From hail the sizeof golf balls to winds that can knock over a giant oak tree, Mother Nature can wreak havoc on your roof in no time. So, let's review how storm damage affects the different components of a roof.
Shingles are the most visible part of your roof. They are designed to protect your roof from the elements but can get damaged quickly depending on their age, quality, and thickness. Hail can leave dents, tears, or holes in your shingles, compromising their effectiveness. This will ultimately lead to water damage, as rain can seep through the damaged areas and cause leaks. If you start noticing water stains on your ceiling or walls, it's time to call Blackhawk Roofing.
Next, we have the gutters. These unassuming channels are crucial in directing water away from your roof and foundation. However, they will not do their job effectively if they get clogged with debris (such as leaves, sticks, or dead animals). This can lead to water damage, mold growth, and even foundation problems. And imagine what happens when icicles form on your gutters during the winter.
Finally, we have the roof deck. This is your roof's foundation; if it gets damaged, your entire roof is compromised. High winds can lift shingles and even rip them off, exposing the roof deck to water and other damage. Additionally, if your roof deck is made of wood (and almost all homes have wooden roof decks), it can begin to rot. This can compromise the overall structure of your roof and your entire house.
Storm damage can also significantly impact homeowners' lives as they deal with expensive repairs, insurance claims, and temporary displacement. Storm damage is no joke. But fear not! Blackhawk Roofing can save the day (and your roof). Call us anytime. After all, we're the best in the biz!
The importance of timely repair
Be sure to address storm damages issues before the next storm hits. Act fast and call Blackhawk Roofing right away. Why, you ask? Let’s discuss some reasons why prompt repair is crucial.
First and foremost, addressing storm damage as soon as possible can prevent further damage to your roof. Letting the damage linger can leave your roof vulnerable to leaks, resulting in water damage to your ceiling, walls, and personal belongings. Dealing with a leaky roof is the last thing you want on your plate.
Furthermore, promptly addressing storm damage will save you money in the long run. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, resulting in costly repairs or a complete roof replacement. No one wants to break the bank on a new roof when it could have been prevented with a minor rehabilitation.
Don't let storm damage wreak havoc on your roof. Call Blackhawk Roofing today, and our team of experts will be there to repair your roof and put your worries to rest. Your roof will thank you.
