Photo-Documented Storm Damage Reports

After high winds, hail, or heavy snow loads move through Chicago, a clear photographic record of roof conditions matters just as much as the repair itself. Chicago Flat Roofing Contractors compiles detailed, photo-documented storm damage reports that give property owners and insurers a straightforward, visual account of what a roof looked like before any work began.

What Goes Into a Report

  • Wide and close-up imagery — photos of membranes, seams, flashing, and drainage points show the extent of damage in context.
  • Drone Roof Inspections — aerial passes capture full roof coverage, including areas that are difficult or unsafe to reach on foot.
  • Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning — scans reveal moisture trapped beneath the surface that isn't visible from a standard photo alone.

When This Is Useful

Property owners typically request documentation right after a storm event, before repairs begin, or when a claim needs supporting evidence. The resulting report can be shared directly with an insurer as part of the claims process.
