Storm damage repair
Storm damage to your roof? We repair it quickly.
Would you like to have storm damage to your roof repaired as quickly as possible? Contact DakspecialistNL and your insurance company immediately. Whenever possible, we will repair the storm damage to your roof right away. If immediate repair is not possible, we will provide temporary emergency measures to prevent further damage.
Please note: Do not climb onto the roof yourself and do not remove any damaged materials. Our specialist and/or your insurance company’s assessor must be able to properly assess the damage. The procedure is always carried out in cooperation with your insurance company.
Storm damage to your roof
During severe storms and strong winds, part of a roof – or in some cases even an entire roof – can be blown off a home or commercial building. In some situations this is pure force majeure, but in many cases there are underlying causes that can be prevented.
Causes of storm damage
Many roofs in the Netherlands do not fully meet current standards. For example, loose ridge tiles where the mortar has completely deteriorated. Or ballasted roofing systems – where roofs are weighted with gravel to keep the roofing in place – that have insufficient ballast. These are common causes of storm damage that can often be easily prevented.
Another important cause of storm damage lies with property owners themselves. When roofs are not properly maintained, roof finishes or roofing systems can become loose due to ageing and structural movement. Once the wind gains hold of these weak spots, nature can literally tear an entire roof loose. Preventive maintenance and professional inspections allow these defects to be detected and repaired at an early stage.
Do you have doubts about the storm resistance of your roof? Contact us. We are happy to visit you and inspect your roof. Depending on the roofing system, we offer several solutions to make your roof storm-resistant again.
Prevent storm damage to your roof instead of repairing it
When installing roofing systems, wind load must always be taken into account. DakspecialistNL does this by carrying out a wind load calculation. This ensures that our roofs always comply with the required standards, whether it concerns pitched roofs (such as tiled roofs) or flat roofs (such as bitumen roofs). When selecting materials and installation methods, we always carefully consider both the material choice and the fastening system.
