Commercial Roof Inspections in Manhattan, KS for Wind Damage Insurance Claims After Storm on June 11, 2022

Straight-line winds topping 100 mph were responsible for an estimated $10 million in property damages losses to Manhattan, KS, and the surrounding area on Saturday, June 11th. Twisters touched down in neighboring counties and nearly overrun Riley County as officials waited for commercial roof inspection experts to complete assessments. RestoreMaster sent emergency roof repair teams to Manhattan to provide commercial roof inspection services and help property secure their buildings.

“Most of the storm damage we get in Kansas is actually caused by straight-line winds, so they should always be taken very seriously,” Riley County Emergency Management Director Russel Stukey reportedly told WIBW 13. “Radar indicated a tornado debris signature and tight rotation in Olsburg in a storm which traveled south. We are very fortunate the rotation signature stopped before it reached Manhattan. The damage was significant but could have been worse with a direct tornado hit.”

Commercial property owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection to help fast-track insurance claims to cover the cost of roof wind damage.

A local high wind damage map shows a large gray storm cell running from Marysville south across Blue Rapids and Manhattan. The light areas indicate high winds able to snap tree limbs and tear shingles off rooftops. The darker gray regions concentrated over Blue Rapids and Manhattan demonstrate tornado-strength wind forces.

Some roofing systems can be severely harmed by damage from heavy winds, tornadoes, or hail.

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

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.

Getting a roof inspection & property damage assessment after severe weather like this is important for determining whether you need to address roof damage from hail or high winds.

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