Storm damage in Missouri to homes and other buildings comes with the territory when you choose to live in this part of the country. Acts of nature cannot be avoided, but there are people that know how to take care of storm damage for you in the most efficient and cost-effective ways possible. Midwest Renovation staffs the most skilled storm damage experts in mid-Missouri.

Types of Storm Damage
You won't be witnessing the immediate effects of any hurricanes in this part of the country, but there are lots of other natural disasters that can threaten the stability of your home or place of business. Midwest Renovation knows how to take care of all of the problems that the following storms can cause. 

Thunderstorms
Heavy rains, especially if they last more than a day, can do a variety of damage to your home. Without proper drainage, there is always the chance for flooding. Water, over time, can also work its way into the materials that your home is made of, like caulking and other sealants, breaking them down and causing them to not do their job. Then comes the threat of mold building up once the water gets inside and sits.  

Lightening can also be a thunderstorm threat. It can strike trees near your home and cause them to break through the roof or windows. If the lightening should strike the building directly, flammable building materials could catch fire. There is also the risk of the electrical wiring getting hit and causing a power surge throughout the building.  

Winter Storms
Excessive snow built up on your roof can cause damage if it gets too heavy. Also, as it melts, the water can find even the smallest cracks and cause leaks. Often, deterioration from leaks will go unnoticed until the problem is a big one. 

Another thing that can occur with heavy snow is ice dams. These form when the snow on your roof melts, then refreezes. The ice makes barriers that trap melting snow and leave it nowhere to go but inside your home. 

Hail Damage
Frozen raindrops are a huge problem in Missouri. Your roof is directly in their path, and that area of your home is too high for you to keep a regular eye on. After a hail storm, it's always a good idea to call our storm damage experts in Jefferson City and let us take a look at it for you. An inspection shows things like soft spots on the shingles that aren't easily seen by the naked eye. 

Hail is also rough on the other outdoor parts of a building. It can leave dents in siding, cause damage to gutters, and even shatter windows. If you notice excessive damage to trees around the building, there's an excellent chance that something on your home could be torn up too. 

Tornadoes
Tornadoes and extremely high winds are a fact of life in Missouri. It can cause large tree limbs, and other objects, to fly directly into a building, and sometimes even through it. Shingles can also be ripped up and torn off, as well as the siding too. Another risk is having winds that are strong enough to blow rain sideways and at an upward angle, causing the rain to work its way under shingles and door/window frames.
