Pearland Roofing Storm and Wind Damage Inspection in Pearland
Pearland is far enough inland that the storm surge never reaches it, and close enough to the Gulf that the wind does. After a front or a tropical system, the roof is the first thing worth checking and the hardest to see.
Hurricane Beryl came ashore near Matagorda at 4 a.m. as a Category 1. The National Weather Service’s Houston office logged a 70 mph gust at Pearland at 5:35 a.m. and another 70 mph gust at Manvel at 9:15 a.m. Brazoria County Airport, to the south, recorded 85 mph. Alvin’s stations reported gusts around 40 mph.
A 2003 builder roof that went through that morning had already been through Ike in 2008. If nobody has been up on it since, it is overdue a look.
What You Can Check From the Ground
- Shingles or pieces of shingle in the yard, the gutters or the street.
- Gaps in the rows along the ridge and the rake edges, where wind gets under first.
- Granules washed out of the downspouts in quantity after the storm.
- Siding, soffit or fascia pulled away at the gable corners.
- New stains on upstairs ceilings in the day or two after.
Stay off the roof and off a ladder. Photograph anything you see, with the date.
What the Contractor’s Inspection Covers
A roof walk where it is safe, or a close look from a ladder where it is not. Creased tabs, which have been lifted by wind and folded back, and which lose their seal even if they lie flat again. Missing ridge and hip caps. Damaged vent boots and flashing. The attic side, for wet decking. A written summary with photographs, saying what is repair-sized and what is not.
This site has not pulled a hail record for Pearland from NOAA’s storm database, so it does not quote one. If hail is what you saw, the inspection is the same, and the contractor will look for the bruised, granule-free spots hail leaves.
What This Site and the Contractor Do Not Do
Neither this site nor the contractor files, negotiates, adjusts or settles claims, and no Texas roofing contractor lawfully may. Nor will they waive, pay or rebate any part of the cost your policy leaves to you. The inspection report and photographs are yours to use however you choose; the conversation with your carrier is yours and your agent’s.
