What can I do if I tree falls on my roof?
How to handle an emergency with your roof
We've all experienced the indications of a storm that the sky is dark and threatening, the sun is blocked out by the thick layer of clouds over the sky. Every minute brings the warning signs of a storm. The winds pick up and windows begin to rattle. Then the rain comes in at first, with small splatters across the sidewalks, and then suddenly it's pouring down in a torrential downpour.
If you love a good storm, it can be a chance to cuddle up with a book and just watch the storm pass by from the comfort in your home.
Sometimes, however, lightning strikes unexpectedly and breaks the trunk of an impressive tree in your backyard. The tree is then forced to tumble onto your roof. Or maybe the wind howls a little more than the trunk can bend, and as in the commercial for an insurance adjuster, the tree slams straight into your house.
It's not unusual for branches and trees to cause damage to the roof on days like these. It's not normal for it to happen to you!
Fortunately, fatalities caused by tree falls are extremely rare. the main concern is the damage they may cause to your home.
Trees that fall are one of the main reasons for roof damage, if you live on a tree-lined street or in a wooded area, it is best to plan ahead.
