Turn Your Storm Damage Into An Energy Advantage With Energy Advantage Roofing And Solar
If you live in Colorado or Texas, you know all too well the kind of storm damage that your home can sustain. These are the two largest hail states and have seen an unprecedented number of claims in recent years. Between 2016 and 2018 alone, over 2.8 million storm damage claims were called in. And between 2018 and 2020, that number rose to an astounding 2.6 million.
While the frequency of storms may seem to be increasing, the size of the hail is what is causing the most damage. The largest hailstone on record fell in Libya on October 27th, 2020. This hailstone was approximately 20 cm in diameter – big enough to kill livestock and damage roofs – especially asphalt shingle roofs!
Rising Insurance Premiums with the Increase in Severe Storms
As the number of storm damage claims rises, so do insurance premiums. Insurance companies are struggling to keep up with the payouts. As a result, many homeowners saw a 21% increase in their premiums from 2017 to 2020. In Texas, this number was even higher, at 18%.
What’s Causing All This Storm Damage?
Global warming is to blame, as it causes havoc with our weather patterns and makes the weather more unpredictable and dangerous. But there is a silver lining. You can use this storm damage to your advantage.
2 Steps You Can Take to Protect Your Home & Save the Environment
Step 1 – Stop Using Asphalt Shingles!
First and foremost, you need to stop re-roofing your home with asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles are not biodegradable, so every time you re-roof your home with them, you contribute to the growing problem of landfill waste.
Over 6% of landfills nationwide are composed of asphalt shingles. And sometimes, when we experience multiple storms, the percentage of asphalt shingles in landfills rises to 50-60%.
Over 11 million tons of asphalt shingles are dumped in U.S. landfills each year, with an emissions footprint equal to 47,000 gas vehicles on the road and powering 24,000 homes.
If this isn’t enough to convince you, think about the energy it takes to produce asphalt shingles.
Manufacturing asphalt shingles emits harmful toxins into the environment, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide. These pollutants are known to cause various health problems in humans, including respiratory problems, headaches, and cancer.
A 2021 Harvard business study revealed that 8 million people died from pollution and carbon-related fossil fuel emissions in 2018. This is just a small example of how storm damage can significantly impact the environment.
