What to Do After a Storm
Protect People First—Then Protect the Building
Storm damage can create electrical, structural and fall hazards. Stay off the roof and keep people away from loose materials, fallen limbs and active ceiling damage.
From a safe location, document visible exterior and interior conditions and note when the damage occurred. Move belongings away from leaks only when it is safe to do so.
Tekline can assess accessible roof damage, likely water-entry points and whether temporary protection, targeted repair or broader replacement planning is appropriate.
- Call emergency services for immediate life-safety or utility hazards.
- Photograph visible damage without climbing onto the roof.
- Limit interior damage with containers or safe relocation of belongings.
- Contact Tekline to confirm inspection and emergency-service availability.
Storm Damage Warning Signs
Roof Conditions That Need Prompt Attention
Some storm damage is obvious. Other failures show up later as lifted materials, open flashing or slow water entry.
Fallen Limbs or Impact
Branches and debris can puncture roofing, damage decking or disturb flashings and edges.
New Interior Water
Ceiling stains, dripping, damp insulation or wall moisture may indicate an active roof opening.
Damaged Metal & Flashing
Bent edge metal, loose counterflashing or displaced vents can create direct water paths.
Gutter or Drainage Failure
Detached gutters, blocked drains and displaced downspouts can send water into vulnerable areas.
Hidden Wind Damage
A roof may look intact from the ground while seals, fasteners or concealed connections have failed.
Active leak or unsecured roof opening?
Call Tekline’s emergency phone line at 206-246-ROOF. Service timing depends on weather, access, safety and current demand.

From Damage to Repair Scope
Assess the Cause, Extent and Repairability
A storm repair should address the actual failure and the water path—not just the most visible surface damage.
Exterior Damage
Missing, lifted, cracked, punctured or displaced roofing, flashings, vents, edges and drainage components.
Interior & Water Entry
Visible ceiling, wall, attic, insulation or decking concerns that help trace the likely entry path.
Repair vs. Replacement
Whether a durable localized repair is possible or age and widespread damage require a broader plan.
Storm Response Process
A Controlled Path From Damage to Recovery
Urgency matters, but so does documenting conditions and authorizing the right work in the right order.
Make the Area Safe
Keep people away from damaged roofing, fallen debris, electrical hazards and unstable ceilings.
Document Conditions
Record visible exterior and interior damage, timing and any steps taken to limit further loss.
Inspect the Roof
Evaluate accessible storm damage, water paths, surrounding wear and temporary-protection needs.
Define the Scope
Separate emergency measures, permanent repair and any replacement recommendation.
Complete Authorized Work
Perform approved repairs with appropriate protection, cleanup and communication.
Insurance and Storm Damage
Roofing Findings Support the Claim—Your Policy Decides Coverage
Tekline can document observed roof conditions and prepare a repair or replacement scope. The insurance carrier decides what the policy covers.
Notify your insurer promptly when damage may be covered and follow its instructions for preventing additional loss. Keep photos, receipts and communication records.
Do not sign over claim control or assume every storm-related condition will be approved. Deductibles, exclusions, depreciation and wear-and-tear provisions vary by policy.
Cause
Wind, impact and sudden openings may be treated differently than age
Timing
Prompt notice and documentation can matter to the claim process
Scope
Emergency protection and permanent work should be identified separately
Coverage
Only the carrier and policy determine payment and claim approval

Storm Repair Answers
Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs
Every storm event and policy is different. Start with safety, documentation and a roof-specific assessment.
What should I do immediately after roof storm damage?
Stay off the roof, keep people away from hazards, document visible conditions from a safe location and call for professional help. Contact emergency services for life-safety, electrical or major structural concerns.
Does Tekline provide emergency roof tarping?
Temporary protection may be available when weather, access, roof condition and crew availability allow. Call 206-246-ROOF to describe the situation and confirm the appropriate response.
How can I tell if wind damaged my roof?
Missing material, lifted edges, creased shingles, loose metal, displaced vents and new water entry are common indicators. Some wind damage requires close inspection to identify.
Should I call my insurance company first?
Notify your insurer promptly when the damage may be covered and follow policy requirements. You can also contact Tekline to assess the roof and define the roofing scope.
Will insurance pay for my roof repair or replacement?
Coverage depends on the cause, policy language, deductible, roof condition and carrier decision. Tekline can document observed roofing conditions but cannot guarantee claim approval or payment.
Can storm damage be repaired without replacing the roof?
Sometimes. Repairability depends on the location and extent of damage, roof age, material availability, surrounding condition and whether a durable tie-in can be made.
What if the roof is leaking but the storm is still active?
Avoid climbing onto the roof. Protect occupants and belongings only where safe, use containers for minor drips and call 206-246-ROOF. Exterior work may need to wait for safe conditions.
What information should I provide when I call?
Provide the property address, storm date or time, roof type if known, visible damage, active leak locations, interior impact and any immediate safety concerns.
