Roof Storm Damage & Insurance Claims in Wausau, WI
After a storm, a flat roof often hides its damage. Hail bruises membranes and cracks coatings without leaving anything visible from the parking lot. Wind lifts edges and loosens fasteners that won't leak until the next storm. A limb can puncture a roof in a spot nobody walks. Insurance claims for storm damage depend on documentation: dated photos, the size and spread of the damage, and a clear line between what the storm did and what was already worn. We inspect after the storm, document the damage with dated photos and measurements, make the roof watertight, and give you a written scope and price for the permanent repair or replacement that you can share with your adjuster. Your policy and your insurer decide what is covered; we give them accurate evidence to decide with.

Leaking right now? Protect the inside first
Move inventory, files and electronics away from the drip, shut off power to any light fixture or panel that is getting wet, and put down buckets or plastic. Keep people out from under a ceiling that is sagging with water above it. Don't send staff onto the roof during a storm, in the dark, or when it is icy or snow-covered. Low-slope roofs have skylights, open edges and slick membranes. Then request service: an active leak can usually be dried in temporarily until a permanent repair is possible.
From the first call to a dry roof
Tell Us About the Roof
The building, the roof type if you know it, and what is happening: an active leak, a stain, ponding water, storm damage, or a roof that is just getting old. Active leaks go to the front of the line.
Roof Assessment
We walk the roof, trace the problem, check the drains and flashings, and take core samples or moisture readings where the insulation might be wet.
Written Options and Price
You get a written scope and price. When more than one approach makes sense, repair, coating and replacement are laid out side by side with what each one buys you.
Work Done and Documented
The work is done to the manufacturer's specification, and you get a photo report and any warranty paperwork for your files.
