Alabama Tornado Damage: Home Inspection Tips

0:00From the streets of Birmingham to the world, this is Birmingham News Today. A week EF-0 tornado, and a microburst tore through central Alabama this week, damaging homes around Trussville. Local contractors say hundreds of properties took a hit from the storm. Even homes away from the storm's main path saw trouble from hail, fierce winds, and flying debris. One contractor spent a week in checking sites and noted how widespread the issues were. All monitors are now inspecting their places closely. They start by circling the outside, looking for busted windows, bench shutters, crack siding, or messed up yard items, all signs that the roof mine. Be her too. Dints in soft spots, like garage doors or downspouts, are big red flags, especially after heavy hail. Older roofs show damage clearly as little dotted marks, so those need extra attention right away. If you spot problems, get a licensed contractor out for a full roof check. Once damage is confirmed, call your insurance company to start a claim process.
