Storm Damage Restoration in Longmont, CO

Two Real Storm Risks in This Part of the Front Range

Longmont sits within the Front Range hail corridor, and a strong spring or summer storm can leave a roof with cracked seals or dented flashing that doesn't leak immediately. The damage often shows up weeks later when a separate rain event finds that exact weak spot, which is why we recommend an inspection after any significant hailstorm even when nothing looks obviously wrong.

The city's flood history adds a second, less frequent but far more serious risk. The September 2013 flood, which pushed St. Vrain flows past 37,000 cubic feet per second and drove water six to eight feet deep into neighborhoods outside the mapped floodplain, is the reference event for what a genuinely severe storm can do here.

Once the Exterior Fails, the Interior Clock Starts

Once wind, hail, or heavy rain gets past a roof, window, or the grading around a foundation, water finds its way inside on the very next significant rain. We start by stopping whatever's actively letting water in, temporary board-up or tarping if that's what it takes, then move into the same extraction and structural drying process any other water event needs for whatever got wet on the inside.

Roof Repair Goes to a Roofer, the Interior Stays With Us

We stay in our lane on the interior side and coordinate directly with a roofing contractor for whatever the exterior needs, drying out the affected space before a slow, ongoing leak turns into a hidden mold problem inside an attic or ceiling cavity a month down the road.

Checking Gutters and Drainage While We're Already There

A storm severe enough to compromise a roof often knocks debris into gutters and downspouts too, and a clogged gutter sends water straight down an exterior wall instead of away from the foundation. We check for this during the interior inspection, since it's a common secondary intrusion source that gets overlooked when attention stays fixed on the roof.

Documentation for a Front Range Storm Claim

Hail claims get real scrutiny in Colorado given how often they come up here. We document interior damage with photos, room-by-room moisture readings, and a written timeline tied to the actual storm date, which supports your claim whether the primary damage sits on the roof, inside the house, or both.

Does a Metal Roof Change Anything Here?

Metal generally holds up better against hail than standard asphalt shingles, though it isn't immune to a severe enough storm. Either way, cosmetic denting and an actual water-intrusion risk are separate questions, and we focus on the latter regardless of what the roof is made of.
