What To Do:

- Vacate the premises in the event of major roof damage – Safety should be your primary concern!

- Initial roof assessment should be done from the ground as damage is not always visible.

- If you suspect damage to your shingles or structure, contact SERVPRO of Ames immediately.

- Avoid electrical hazards. Stay away from electrical lines that may have fallen.

- Contact the utility company to ensure lines are de-energized.

What Not To Do: 

- Don’t enter rooms where overhead damage may be a safety hazard.

- Don’t climb on roof. Roof may have unseen structural damage.

- Don’t climb on roofs that may be wet or icy.

- Don’t attempt to install a tarp during a storm.

- Do not use a metal ladder near power lines or in close proximity to energized electrical equipment.
