Roofer causes Storm Damage

SERVPRO is called to many homes where the roof is damaged and leaking but a recent storm showed that the cause of the leak was from a local roofing company.  

They had tarped the roof after removing the shingles because a storm was predicted for the next day.  However, the owner of the home woke up to find water running down the inside walls of the bathroom, garage and sunroom.

Upon inspection it was discovered that one of the roofing workers and put his foot through the roof and did not tell anyone, he simply covered it up with the tarp.  

The roofer did take responsibility for the damage and called SERVPRO to make the necessary repairs.

However, our inspection discovered more damage than was originally found, due to our excellent estimator.  He followed the water trail even into an attic crawl space where it was very evident that water had penetrated that area as well.

He sent our SERVPRO personnel out with the necessary equipment to get everything dried as quickly as possible.
