What to Do After a Roof Damaging Storm

01

Stay Safe

Do not climb on a wet roof. Keep clear of downed wires, loose limbs, and damaged ceilings.

02

Photograph From Ground Level

Take pictures of visible damage, fallen limbs, water inside, and debris without putting yourself at risk.

03

Call Eclipse

We inspect the roof, tarp an active leak when needed, and document damage with photos and measurements.

04

Do Not Sign at the Door

Do not sign a contract handed to you by a door knocker right after a wind event. Get the roof inspected first.

Mon County Weather

Hail, Wind, and Tree Impact in Mon County

Hail

Hail bruises shingles and damages the mat underneath. You often cannot spot it from the ground. That is why an actual roof inspection matters.

Wind

Wind lifts shingles, ridge caps, and flashing. Ridgetop homes and open areas around Cheat Lake can take the hardest hits.

Tree Impact

A branch can crack shingles, puncture decking, or shift flashing. Water then finds its way in during the next rain.

Secondary Water Damage

A small opening after a storm can become wet insulation, damaged drywall, and deck rot in a few weeks. Move fast.

Insurance Documentation

We Handle the Roofing Paperwork

Chris has insurance experience. We photograph the roof, measure the damaged areas, and prepare a report an adjuster can work from. That gives you a clean record of what we found.

We are not attorneys. We do not negotiate the claim. We do not guarantee approval. We make sure the roofing side of your paperwork is organized and complete.

Storm Chasers

How to Spot One

Out of state plates. Door knocking after every wind event. Pressure to sign the same day. No West Virginia license. A promise that sounds too easy. Then they are gone in six months. Eclipse Construction holds WV General Contractor License #WV064436. We are here in February, not just after the storm.

  • Emergency tarp installation when needed
