What to Do Right After Storm Damage to Your Roof

The first steps to protect your home and your insurance claim after a storm.

Blog · August 20, 2026

Stay safe first

Stay off the roof and away from downed lines. If water is coming through a ceiling, move valuables and turn off power to that area if it is safe to do so.

Document everything

Take photos and video of damage inside and out, with dates. Keep receipts for anything you spend to protect the home.

Prevent more damage

Most insurance policies expect you to take reasonable steps to stop further damage. Emergency tarping is often the fastest way. Call 855-419-TARP any time, day or night.

Call your insurer

Report the claim, then have a roofer inspect so you understand the full scope before the adjuster visits.
