What Do I Do If a Fire Damages My Roof?

A fire can cause major damage to your roof, and it's important to know what steps to take if you have experienced this kind of damage. Here are some tips.

The roof is one of the most exposed areas of your business to the elements.

It can be damaged by fire, wind and rain, snow and ice, hail, or even fallen trees after a storm.

It’s important to note that a fire-damaged roof may need repairs if it was not destroyed in the fire. Even if all that remains is charred wood or cinders from smoke damage on top of your existing roofing material (such as asphalt shingles), you may still need repairs.

A fire can cause major damage to your roof.

If your business is affected by fire, the roof is one of the most exposed areas to damage. Roofs are also built to resist a lot of weather conditions and extreme temperatures, so they can withstand a good amount of abuse before they start showing signs of wear or tear. However, fire will cause heavy damage on any type of material including steel and concrete.

The most obvious sign that your roof has been damaged by a fire is holes in it, but there are other things you need to look out for as well:

• If there's smoke damage on the outside walls or vents
• Fire residue (charcoal dust) in the ceiling
• Water or moisture stains on ceilings and walls

You should make sure you have enough tarps for the size of the roof.

To protect your roof, you should use tarps. Tarps are the best option for covering a damaged or destroyed roof after a fire. They are economical and easy to install and can be used for all sizes of roofs.

To install a tarp, you need to first measure the length and width of your roof by holding one end of your measuring tape at one corner of your house, then measuring from wall-to-wall in another direction until you reach another corner. Then add an extra foot or two onto each measurement so that when you buy tarps, they will fit snugly over all four sides of your house without any gaps between them and/or leaves a few inches overhang on each side (which helps prevent rainwater from getting into areas where there might still be standing water).

If you have experienced fire damage, call in a professional who can help you figure out what to do about your roof.
