Wind Damage

The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is known for its high-strong winds, especially during the winter and spring months. This can often uproot trees and damage roofs, creating an unwanted emergency for you and your family.

Water Damage

During the fall and spring months, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is known to experience heavy rainfall, which can often lead to thunderstorms and flooding. This can be troubling for homeowners as the heavy rain can lead to water intrusion, leaks, and, if left unattended, mold growth.

Hail Damage

Large chunks of hail can physically damage your roof, which over time can and will weaken the integrity of your roofing material by causing cracks, dents, and shattering shingles. This can expose the underlying structure of your roof, which makes it more susceptible to leaks, and eventually mold growth.

Lightning Damage

While lightning striking your home seems unlikely, it can happen, which is why we’re there, to help during your time of need. When lightning strikes your home, the heat and force can warp and knock off shingles; and in some cases, the electrical surge can even lead to fires along your roof and attic.

We Handle Insurance Claims

At Parish Roofing Solutions, we understand that unforeseen roof damage is already enough trouble as it is, and that’s without the added headache of dealing with pesky insurance companies and their tedious claim processes, which often provide you with more questions than answers. As homeowners and lifelong Texans, we understand your frustrations because we’ve been through them ourselves. That is why here at Parish Roofing Solutions, we streamline insurance-related aspects by working closely with your insurance company to get you the best deal possible.

Step 1: The Initial Inspection

The first step is to conduct a roofing inspection in order to assess the extent of the damage, and whether or not it is covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy. Covered incidents include: sudden accidents caused by fires, windstorms, hail, and falling objects. Roof leaks are also covered, as well as full roof replacement, if the damage caused is extensive enough to warrant it. What is not covered is typical wear and tear as well as damage due to negligence or old age.

Step 2: Documentation of Damage

During our initial assessment we will also document the damage caused to your property in order to provide your insurance company with photos and videos, including close-ups, as well as any other information we deem relevant and necessary.

Step 3: Helping Facilitate Insurance Claims

Once we’ve finished our initial inspection, which we conduct free of charge, and collected the necessary documentation, we will move to help facilitate filing your insurance claim. We also help our customers by doing a thorough review of their homeowners insurance in order to help them better understand their coverage and the required repairs.

Step 4: Estimations and Negotiations

Once we’ve filed your insurance claim, our team of plumbing professionals, along with the help of our project managers will work diligently to create an accurate quote for your repairs and replacements, as well as take into account the cost of materials, and labor. We will work tirelessly with your insurance company to get the full amount approved, helping you pay as little as possible while maximizing our services.

The Hidden Dangers of Storm Damage

You’ve had a big storm in the area. It was raining cats and dogs, your phone’s alarm was blaring with constant ‘flood warning’ notifications, informing you that this was in fact not your typical storm, but a bad one. But you endured. Persevered. And your home made it out in one piece—or so you think.

The thing about storm damage is it isn’t always apparent, especially not to the untrained eye. It’s not like every time it rains, your roof will be filled with leaks. But over time, especially without the proper maintenance services, your roof will eventually wear out, and one bad storm can push it over the edge, creating a world of trouble for you. So what do you do? Read on to learn more about the hidden dangers of storm damage.

Structural Damage

During a bad storm, homeowners will sometimes suffer from water intrusion. When left unattended for a prolonged period of time, the water that’s seeped into your home will weaken the structural integrity of your causing rot and decay within the foundation.

Mildew and Mold Growth

It does not take long for mold to grow. In fact, given the right conditions, mold can begin growing in as little as 48 hours. If permitted to grow, mold can deteriorate your home’s floors, ceilings, and walls. Additionally, mild can also pose adverse health complications, especially to compromised individuals who may suffer from allergies and respiratory issues such as asthma.

Voided Warranties

Most homeowners insurance companies require prompt actions when filing for repairs. Failing to report repairs or delaying them can be grounds for denials. So for emergency roofing repairs, make sure you are contacting your insurance company as soon as possible in order to mitigate any complications and out of pocket costs.

Increased Repair Costs

Delaying emergency roof repair services can and will lead to increased repair costs. There’s no way around that. When left unattended, what started off as your standard leak or missing shingle can quickly snowball into structural damage. Additionally, when dealing with water damage, it’s important to note that water damage spreads, and will affect multiple areas of your home—not just your roof. So, don’t let an easy fix persist and spiral into something costly. Your home, your family, and your wallet will thank you.  

Is it Safe to Stay in My Home After Severe Storm Damage?

Staying in your home after severe storm damage is generally not recommended. It is important to immediately have your home inspected by a 24 hour roofing service such as ourselves, in order to ensure your home is safe from potential hazard and  structurally sound.

Potential dangers include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Structural Damage: During a severe storm, your roof, walls, and the foundation of your home can all be damaged, potentially causing openings or weakening your home, which can make it unsafe to inhabit.
• Hazardous Materials: During a storm, you can be exposed to debris such as broken glass and nails, which can pose an injury risk. 
• Flooding and Mold: A severe storm can contaminate your living space with sewage, which can increase the risk of mold growth. ‍
• Fallen Power Lines: Fallen power lines often pose a serious health hazard during severe storms, and can electrocute you, especially if hidden under debris or water.
