Roof Repair in Emergency Conditions
roofers in Boulder Colorado - When the weather condition in Colorado is stunning and everything is calm, decisions are simple to make. However when the weather is dreadful and the electrical energy heads out, this is another story totally. This is no time to be making critical choices. Rather, it's time to execute proper plans that you thought about when everything was calm and the weather behaved. If your roofing has been damaged due to a fallen tree, tree branch or limb, instant action is essential due to the fact that the stability of the entire structure could be affected.

Seldom do we have tornadoes in Boulder Colorado but we do have them in the surrounding locations of Boulder County and Denver County. In this case, roofs will certainly be harmed by high winds and debris hitting the roof. The very first thing you have to ascertain is if electrical power lines are down on your roof or in your lawn. If they are, exercise EXTREME care. Keep away from them and keep everybody away from them. The best thing to do is call 911 and notify them so they can contact the proper authorities right away. Downed power lines are categorized as an emergency scenario.

The majority of the emergencies we experience included too much snow building up on trees near a home which causes the tree limbs to snap. When this happens you will usually hear a significant thud when it crashes onto the roofing system. The first thing to do is get all family members and animals far from that area of the house. Dress yourself appropriately, flashlight in hand, and go outside and check it out. Once again you will look for downed power lines, very same procedure as above. Do not get on a ladder and do rule out getting on the roof. From the ground you are going to be looking for any holes in the side of your house or damaged windows. Structural damage can take place if the tree that has fallen is of substantial size. If there's no major structural damage you can make use of plastic and duct tape to cover holes or damaged windows that are safely available till the storm is over. It is best to do just is absolutely essential up until the weather condition has actually passed. Remember that Boulder Colorado has rather moderate winters and the weather condition normally returns to those conditions reasonably quick.

When you have determined that there are no life threatening conditions but you understand a tree is pushing the roof you will certainly need to make three phone calls.

1. your regional Boulder roofing business

2. your local Boulder tree removal company

3. your house owner's insurance claims department
