We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Honolulu county.

Aloha. Do you know that SERVPRO® of Kailua has a team of technicians on-call 24-hours a day to respond to storm damage emergencies? Storms can damage roofs, so it is a good idea to inspect your roof for damage after a storm. Here are some tips from State Farm Insurance for protecting your roof from wind damage:

• Strong winds can cause shingles to peel off, especially if edge shingles are not well secured or the adhesive on their tabs has failed
  • A roofing professional can evaluate your roof, and if needed, additional roofing cement can be added under each tab to help keep the shingles attached during a high-wind event
• The shingles should be attached to roof decking of solid 5/8-inch-thick plywood
• The roof decking should be attached to the roof framing using eight diameter ring shank nails and a secondary water barrier created by installing self-adhering flashing tape over the joints in the roof deck
• For greater resistance to wind uplift, apply a bead of construction adhesive along both sides of the intersection between the roof decking and the rafters or trusses. Your roofing professional can provide you with information about additional safeguards.
