Storm vs. Roof – How Foam Prevents Major Weather Damage: Best Roofer in Phoenix

Dealing with the aftermath of a major storm is always a challenge, and it can be even more difficult when your home is affected. Damaged roofs are among the most common problems for homeowners after rain, hail, or windstorms, and they can be both inconvenient and costly.

According to a recent survey by The Travelers Companies Inc., over half of all U.S. home owner insurance claims are due to weather related damage. At least 25% of damages are caused by wind, and 15% are caused by hail, two storm conditions that commonly affect the Phoenix and Tucson areas.

Asphalt shingles and tile roofs have their strengths, but they are prone to extensive damage when the weather turns bad. Repairing or replacing a shingle or tile roof can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and you never know when it will need to be replaced in the future. These worries are largely eliminated when you have a foam roof.
Polyurethane foam is also vulnerable to weather induced damage, but repair costs are generally lower and the fundamental structure of a foam roof is more secure. To begin with, foam is seamless and waterproof, and rain storms won’t result in leaks or interior water damage. It’s applied in liquid form using a specialized foam gun and creates an impenetrable, flexible surface.

Hail and wind can erode the surface layers of the foam, but your roof won’t blow off and expose the inside of your house to further destruction. Storm damage to foam roofing varies from cracks to dents to small punctures and is typically caused by hail or objects carried by the wind. These can occur in isolated areas or across the entire surface of your roof, and the depth and severity will depend on the intensity of the storm.
If you suspect that your foam roof has sustained damages after a wind or hail storm, have your roof inspected as soon as possible. The sooner the damages are addressed and repaired, even minor dents and cracks, the easier and cheaper it will be to fix.

Images of broken shingles and roofs flying away won’t worry you once you switch to polyurethane foam. The next time a big storm rolls in, you can have more peace of mind knowing that your roof will remain secure and intact.

In 2004 Foam Experts installed a new foam roof on our 2 story townhouse. The whole process was easy and informative. They came out periodically, for free, to check the roof’s condition and do any necessary minor repairs. In 2014 and again in May 2022 we had them recoat the surface after a complete inspection. We have never had any leaks or issues with our roof. We love working with Todd and Marianne and really appreciate their excellent customer service and top notch quality of work.

It was a pleasure working with this company, from first contact for inspection and a quote, to our finished foam roof project. Their crew and crew leader were courteous, professional and friendly, and cleaned up so thoroughly each day, it was as if they had not even been there. Of course, no homeowner really knows how well the job was done until the next rainfall. The ultimate test was passed with an A+ when, a couple of weeks later, rain came down hard in torrents on two different days. I highly recommend Foam Experts Roofing, Inc.
