Damage Brings Emergency Roof Contractors To Topeka & Junction City, Kansas, Due To High Winds, Tornado & Hail, on May 17, 2022

From KWCH, severe thunderstorms, landspouts, heavy winds, and hail plagued the Topeka and Junction City areas of Kansas on Tuesday evening, May 17^th. A landspout sprung up in Decatur County. These are different from tornadoes, in that they are not connected to supercell thunderstorms. The airport in Russell recorded wind speeds up to 75 mph. Wind at this speed can down tree branches which can fall on buildings and homes, break power poles can cause power outages. In South Wichita, a resident’s tree in their front yard split in half just from the strong wind gusts.

About 4,500 customers remain without power in Sedgwick and Saline counties. In Salina, 2,963 customers lost power due to wind gusts of 58 mph. Clearwater utilities reported that more than 700 people were without power. A tornado was spotted, touching down briefly along I-70 west of Quinter and east of Grainfield. No damage occurred.

RestoreMasters has been working in Kansas, after severe storms last month like the one in Concordia. A team was sent to the Topeka area to assist with the aftermath of this storm as well. Tree branches breaking and landing on roofs, hail propelled in high winds ruins roofing tiles, shingles, siding, and even cracking or breaking windows. Future storms can allow water in unless damaged roofs and buildings are covered temporarily until permanent solutions can be applied.

The local hail and wind map shows swaths of heavy wind up to 58-73 mph and landspouts (black) in the Topeka area. One-inch hail is indicated by yellow overlapping in Junction City area, west of Topeka, and in the Topeka area. Larger hail (orange and dark orange) dropped in the center of stormy areas in the Junction City area.

Tornadoes, hail, and even strong winds can cause severe wind damage to roofing systems.

Winds as low as 50 mph can cause some older roofs to be damaged.

The intensity of roof damage is determined by various factors: the velocity and impact of flying debris, the quality of the original installation, the building height and location in relation to other buildings, the angle and shape of the roof, and the material used on the roof.

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.

In situations where you’ve got a leaking roof, experienced disaster roofing contractors can stop the leaks temporarily, by laying tarp or by using a durable shrink-wrap plastic membrane in the affected areas, or even over the entire roof. This will keep your building protected until permanent repairs can take place. This will help prevent mold infestation from water leaks.

Get your roof inspected, even if you think there is no problem, especially if your property falls anywhere within the area of the hail and wind damage map.

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

And deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
