Tycos Roofing and Siding , based in Wilmington, DE, offers this detailed guide, embodying our dedication to quality, intelligent direction, and meticulous execution, to help you navigate the post-storm landscape efficiently and effectively.

Initial Safety Measures

Prioritize safety by inspecting for immediate hazards. Look out for downed power lines, potential gas leaks, and ensure your drinking water remains uncontaminated. Addressing these concerns first can prevent potential emergencies or health risks.

Detailed Home Inspection Checklist

Roof Examination

Visual Inspection : Search for signs of raised, missing, or damaged shingles, focusing on potential hail or wind damage that may be confined to one side of your home.

Gutters and Downspouts: Check for dents or blockages that could impede water flow, leading to further damage.

Windows and Doors Assessment

Structural Integrity : Inspect for any cracks, holes, or broken frames. Damage to these areas can compromise your home’s security and energy efficiency.

Auxiliary Features : Evaluate the condition of shutters and awnings for any storm-related wear.

Exterior Siding Evaluation

Surface Damage : Look for chipping, cracking, or denting in your siding, which can compromise your home’s insulation and aesthetic appeal.

Lighting Conditions : Assess your home’s exterior under different lighting conditions to ensure all damages are accounted for.

Air Conditioning System Check

Debris Removal : Clear any debris affecting the air conditioner coils and fins to prevent damage and maintain efficiency.

Post-Inspection Actions

Debris and Water Removal

Standing Water : Eliminate any standing water around your home’s foundation to prevent mold growth and structural damage.

Gutter Maintenance : Ensure gutters are clear of debris to prevent water buildup under shingles, which could lead to roof damage.

Insurance Claim Process

Documentation : Document all damages with photographs or video to support your insurance claim.

Professional Assessment : Consider having a professional from Tycos Roofing and Siding or your insurance provider assess the damage to ensure a comprehensive claim.
