Storm Ruined Your Soffit or Fascia? What We Do to Fix It

When a storm rips through central Ohio, your roof isn’t the only thing at risk. Your soffit and fascia—the trim and ventilation around the edge of your roof—take a serious beating too. And when they’re damaged, the problems don’t stop at cosmetics.

At Total Home Water Restoration, we fix storm-damaged soffit and fascia the right way—so you don’t get stuck dealing with leaks, mold, or worse a few months down the line.

Here’s what you need to know if a storm tore into yours.

First—Why Your Soffit and Fascia Matter

Soffits (the underside of your roof overhang) and fascia boards (the vertical trim along the edge) aren’t just for looks. They:

  • Keep water out of your attic and walls

  • Help ventilate your attic to prevent mold and rot

  • Support your gutters

  • Keep birds, squirrels, and insects out

When wind, hail, or flying debris damage them, water can sneak into places it doesn’t belong. That’s where rot and mold start. We've seen entire roof edges ruined just because a little fascia damage went unchecked.

What We Look for After a Storm

When we inspect soffit and fascia after a storm, we check for:

  • Cracked, sagging, or missing fascia boards

  • Soffit panels torn loose or hanging

  • Water stains or soft spots near the roof edge

  • Detached or overflowing gutters

  • Signs of animal intrusion

We also look behind the visible damage to check for rot in the rafters or sheathing.

Our Repair Process: Built to Last

When you call us for soffit or fascia repair, here’s what you get:

  1. Full inspection – We don’t just slap on new boards. We check the structure behind the damage.

  2. Rot repair – If wood beneath is soft or moldy, we cut it out and replace it to code.

  3. Proper material matching – We match the size, type, and finish so your repair looks clean and uniform.

  4. Ventilation restored – We make sure your attic stays properly vented to avoid future moisture issues.

  5. Gutter reset – If gutters were knocked out of place, we reseat and seal them securely.

We follow International Residential Code (IRC) section R703 for weather-resistant construction and local code requirements to make sure your repair meets inspection standards.

Why It Pays to Fix It Now

Ignoring soffit and fascia damage leads to:

  • Mold in attic insulation

  • Pests nesting in roof cavities

  • Rotted rafter tails

  • Peeling paint and siding damage

It’s cheaper and safer to handle it right after the storm.
