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.

Strong winds can rip open some roofing systems and cause severe roof wind damage.

Some older roofs can be damaged by winds as low as 50 miles per hour.

Roof damage can be severe or mild, depending on various factors which include: materials used on the roof, impact of debris, building height and proximity to other buildings, age, angle and shape of the roof and type of roofing.

Following severe weather like this, it's important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment to determine whether or not you have roof damage from hail or wind.

Circumstances do not always allow for immediate repair of roof leaks. In the meantime, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can cover the roof or affected area with a tarp or with a durable plastic shrink wrap material, until such a time when more permanent repairs can be made. We need to stop more moisture damage, so we can prevent mold growth.

Rather than believing your roof is not damaged, if your property is anywhere in the area of the storm damage map, then you will want to get your roof inspected.

Symptoms of storm damage problems do not always show up immediately.

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