Rice Coastal Inc. Storm Tips

Stay prepared and protected. Trust Rice Coastal Inc. for expert storm tips and reliable roofing solutions.

1

Conduct a Pre-Season Inspection and Address Weaknesses

Before hurricane season begins, have a professional roofing company inspect your roof for damage and vulnerabilities. Focus on:

  • Loose, cracked, or missing shingles
  • Damaged or corroded flashing
  • Sagging areas or signs of rot
  • Loose gutters and downspouts
  • Cracks or gaps around roof penetrations

Addressing these issues early can prevent significant damage during a storm.

2

Clear Gutters and Downspouts Regularly

Clogged gutters prevent proper water drainage, leading to potential leaks and roof damage. Regularly clean gutters and downspouts of debris to ensure proper water flow, especially before and after heavy rain or winds during hurricane season.

3

Secure Loose Items on or Around Your Roof

Loose items can become dangerous projectiles in high winds. Secure or remove:

  • Satellite dishes and antennas
  • Solar panels
  • Tree branches overhanging the roof
  • Loose tools or materials

This ensures nothing endangers your roof or surrounding areas during a storm.

4

Know Your Roof’s Age and Condition

Understanding your roof’s age and overall condition is vital for assessing its storm resilience. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, consider replacing it before hurricane season. An older roof is more susceptible to damage from wind and rain.

5

Have A Plan and Know Who to Call

In the event of roof damage, having a clear plan can make all the difference:

  • Know your insurance policy and coverage for hurricane-related damage.
  • Identify trusted local roofing contractors for emergency repairs.
  • Document any damage with photos for insurance claims.
  • Prioritize safety and wait for professional help before attempting repairs.

Having a reliable plan ensures a quick response when you need it most.
