Commercial Roof Inspections in Pierre, SD for Wind Damage Insurance Claims After Storm on June 20, 2022

​Wind speeds equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane ravaged Pierre, SD, as well as neighboring counties Monday, June 20th, and agricultural and commercial building owners are now tasked with emergency roof repair. The straight-line winds wreaked havoc in the state’s capital city as Central South Dakota continues to endure extreme weather systems. RestoreMasters dispatched commercial roof inspection services experts to the Pierre, SD, in an effort to help expedite insurance claims and prevent further losses.

“Severe storms that ripped through central South Dakota Monday night have forced the temporary closure of the Oahe Downstream Recreation Area on the Missouri River,” according to the South Dakota Central Press Syndicate. “Some of the strongest winds with the storm passed to the north of Pierre and over the Oahe Downstream Rec Area. A wind gust of 72 miles an hour was reported in Fort Pierre with the storm and 61 miles an hour in Pierre. The strongest reported wind gust was three miles south of Bunker in Stanley County of 85 miles an hour. Winds were reported 10 miles southwest of the Chantier Creek Rec Area of 71 miles an hour.”

Commercial property owners are advised to promptly request a complimentary roof inspection and build a record of the damage to support insurance claims going forward. It’s not uncommon for high winds to compromise the integrity of roofing systems that begin leaking later.

A local wind damage map indicates a massive extreme weather system stretched from the Badlands across Pierre and above Aberdeen. The light gray areas point to high winds able to tear off roof shingles, snap tree limbs, and pelt siding with flying debris. The darker area in the eye of the storm points to hurricane-force winds inflicting property and roof damage from Wendte across the capital and as far northeast as Faulkton.

Severe storms, bringing hail, strong winds, or tornadoes can cause severe roof damage, by ripping off roofing systems.

Older roofs are susceptible to severe wind damage, by winds as low as 50 mph.

The severity of roof damage depends on several factors including: type and age of roofing materials, presence of flying debris, roof shape and angle, building height and proximity to adjacent structures and the quality of original roof installation.

After a severe storm of hail or high winds, it is important to get your roof inspected, and have a property damage assessment report so that you can learn whether you have damage to your roofing system.

If roof leaks do occur, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can stop leaks with tarping or shrink wrapping, where affected areas (or the entire roof) are covered with a durable shrink-wrapped plastic membrane till permanent repairs can take place. That way you can prevent mold growth from water intrusion.

If your property was anywhere within the storm damage map, it would be best to get your roof inspected, even if you think your roof was not damaged.

Many storm damage symptoms are not always evident immediately.

And insurance company deadlines could hinder your ability to file a claim later.
