Roof Damage From Irma
The walters family from left annette her husband clayton daughter valencia and grandson malik have a new roof after damages from hurricane irma.
Roof damage from irma. Our experience following hurricane irma has been that we learned clay was more brittle and susceptible to damage even if it was installed to code. With little financial ability to get it. Water intrusion can damage insulation and drywall as well as contribute to mold growth. In an irma the system s insulation is installed above the waterproofing membrane instead of below as in a conventional roof assembly.
Water also presents electrical hazards. Inverted roof systems are also referred to as upside down roof assembly. With a large chunk of irma claims dealing with the damage to roofs caused by the storm we are constantly learning what works and unfortunately what doesn t in roofing. If a roof s damage is indeed a result of aging and not a result of the hurricane s wrath homeowners will typically be responsible for footing the entire bill themselves.
The national hurricane center estimates irma caused 50 billion in damages making it the fifth costliest hurricane to ever hit the united states.
