How Our Storm Watch Program Helps Keep Your Roof Safe
“The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” John F. Kennedy
That’s not just a quote it’s a strategy. In Southeast Louisiana, storms roll in fast, and they hit hard. If you’ve lived here long enough, you know that even one heavy gust can loosen shingles, compromise flashing, or send debris hurtling into your gutters. That’s why proactive roof maintenance isn’t optional it’s essential.
At Westbank Roofing, we’ve spent over five decades helping our neighbors weather the toughest storms. And with our Storm Watch Program, we don’t wait for disaster to strikewe’re already on the job.
What Is the Storm Watch Program?
Think of it as your roof’s early warning system without the need to lift a finger.
Our Storm Watch Program is built into our roof maintenance service, and it automatically kicks in when a major storm passes through your area. The moment it’s safe, we dispatch our roofing experts to inspect your home, checking for signs of storm damage—even the kind you can’t see from the ground.
That means:
- No waiting on hold during peak crisis times
- No missed damage that gets worse with time
- No guesswork—just peace of mind
And yes, it’s available to all our clients whether we installed your roof or not.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. averaged 18 severe weather events per year over the last five years. Louisiana? We’re usually right in the bullseye.
Here’s what we’re seeing more of:
- High-wind events tearing off shingles
- Flash flooding that exposes leaks
- Hidden punctures caused by flying debris
- Blocked drainage systems from roof granule loss
Our Storm Watch Program exists because we know those problems don’t always make themselves known right away. A small crack today can mean a major leak next week.
What We Check After a Storm
Our inspectors go beyond a quick visual scan. Here’s a taste of what we cover during a post-storm roof inspection:
- Loose or missing shingles
- Water intrusion and ceiling stains
- Lifted flashing or cracked seals
- Soft spots and sagging decking
- Gutter blockages and misalignment
- Sealant breakdown on roof edges
- Granule loss on asphalt shingles
Every inspection is logged, photographed, and documented. If we find an issue? You’ll get a straightforward plan and honest pricing to fix it fast.
Why Regular Roof Maintenance Works
Your roof isn’t just “up there” to keep the rain out. It’s one of the most critical systems protecting your home. And it needs upkeep, especially in a climate like ours.
Our roof maintenance program includes:
- Annual or quarterly inspections (your choice)
- Maintenance tuned to your roof type (metal, shingle, flat, etc.)
- Preventative repairs that stop leaks before they start
- Easy-to-budget payment plans no surprise bills
Combine this with our Storm Watch coverage, and you’ve got a complete shield over your investment.
