⛈️ Why a Roofing Inspection After a Storm Can Save You Thousands
Storms in Maryland are no joke—whether it's high winds off the Chesapeake, heavy rain in Anne Arundel County, or a fast-moving thunderstorm in Prince George’s, your roof takes the hit first.
Even if you don't see visible damage from the ground, your roof could have compromised shingles, hidden leaks, or ventilation issues that lead to long-term structural problems. Worse yet, insurance may deny claims if you wait too long.
At WeatherTek Home Exteriors, we offer free drone roof inspections that uncover damage quickly and help you act before it’s too late.
1. Not All Storm Damage Is Visible from the Ground
Your roof may look perfectly fine after a storm—but hidden damage can exist under the surface.
Common post-storm roof issues:
Lifted or cracked shingles
Missing granules (causes premature aging)
Torn flashing around chimneys or vents
Impact marks from hail or flying debris
Loosened ridge caps or vents
Leaks into attic insulation or framing

According to the National Storm Damage Center, over 90% of storm-related roof damage goes unnoticed until more serious issues arise.
2. Why Drone Inspections Are a Game-Changer
Traditional “ladder-and-eyeball” inspections just don’t cut it anymore. Our high-resolution drones give us a bird’s-eye view of your entire roofing system, including the hard-to-reach spots most contractors miss.
Advantages of drone inspections with WeatherTek:
Safe, contactless evaluation
Accurate photo and video documentation
Fast turnaround—same-day in most cases
Ideal for insurance documentation
No obligation to commit to repairs
We’ll even send you the full drone footage, so you can see what we see.
3. Insurance Claims: Why Timing Matters
Waiting too long after a storm to report damage is one of the top reasons insurance companies deny or underpay claims.
We help homeowners like you:
Identify storm-related roof damage quickly
Create photo/video documentation
Submit claim reports accurately
Communicate with adjusters (on request)
Avoid common claim mistakes
✅ Tip: Schedule your inspection within 72 hours of a major storm event whenever possible.

4. Small Damage Can Lead to Big Repairs
Ignoring minor damage today can lead to:
Interior water leaks
Mold and insulation rot
Structural weakening
Increased energy bills
Emergency roof replacement in the future
What could’ve been covered by insurance might turn into a $15,000+ out-of-pocket repair job.
A free inspection today can literally save you thousands tomorrow.
5. Maryland’s Weather Demands Regular Roof Checkups
Between coastal winds, humidity, thunderstorms, and snow—Maryland roofs see all four seasons in full force.
