Warning: The Damage You Can't See Is Often Worse
After Calgary hailstorms or wind damage, most homeowners only see obvious problems (missing shingles, visible holes). But professional inspection often reveals:
Attic Red Flags:
- • Daylight through roof boards
- • Damp or wet insulation
- • Water stains on decking
- • Warped or soft plywood
Structural Issues:
- • Compromised flashing (chimneys, vents)
- • Granule loss weakening shingles
- • Micro-cracks from hail impact
- • Underlayment penetration
⚠️ Why This Matters:
Insurance adjusters often miss hidden damage during quick exterior inspections. Our comprehensive emergency inspection includes attic access and documents ALL damage—not just what's visible from the ground. This can mean thousands more in your insurance claim.

What should I do before you arrive?
First, ensure everyone's safety. If possible, move valuables away from leak areas and place buckets to catch water. Take photos of the damage for insurance. Do NOT attempt to go on the roof yourself - wait for our professionals.
