Storm Damage Repair

High winds, hail, and heavy snow loads all take a toll on flat and low-slope roofs across Chicago. Storm damage repair addresses the aftermath — torn membranes, lifted flashing, bruised metal panels, and water that has found its way past a compromised seal. Catching these issues early keeps a single storm from turning into a long-term structural problem.

Assessing the Damage

Drone Roof Inspections — aerial passes document seams, flashing points, and drains without added foot traffic on a storm-weakened roof.
Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning — scanning locates moisture trapped beneath the membrane before it spreads to the deck below.
Photo-Documented Storm Damage Reports — a clear, photo-based record of what the storm affected, useful for property owners and insurers alike.

Repairing the Roof System

Flashing & Scupper Systems — resealing these edge and drainage points stops water from pooling where the storm loosened a seam.
Ice & Water Shield Membrane — self-adhering protection reinforces vulnerable edges and valleys against future ice buildup.
Ponding Water Correction — re-sloping or tapered systems address low spots left behind after heavy rain or snowmelt.
Tuckpointing & Mortar Systems — parapet walls and chimneys are restored where storm impact has opened gaps in the mortar.

Working the Roof Safely

Storm-damaged roofs often mean slick, uneven, or unstable surfaces. Crews use Fall Protection Safety Harness Systems and, when snow or ice remains, Snow & Ice Removal Equipment to clear the roof without stressing the membrane before repairs begin.
