Severe Weather and Roofing in the Newark Area
Weather forecasts and severe-storm alerts for Licking County come out of the NWS Wilmington forecast office. NOAA records show over 1,500 confirmed tornadoes in Ohio since 1950. Damaging wind events happen far more often than tornadoes. Licking County's tornado count runs slightly below the Ohio state average, but the area has multiple documented severe weather events that caused roof damage.
Two events stand out for Newark:
On April 20, 2011, an EF1 tornado touched down six miles east-southeast of Newark, on Brushy Fork Road southeast of Brownsville Road. The National Weather Service estimated maximum wind speeds of 109 mph. A residence on Brushy Fork Road took roof damage. A mobile home on the same road was destroyed. Trees up to 18 inches in diameter were uprooted along the path.
On June 22, 1986, a tornado moved across the south side of Newark around 10:30 PM with a two-mile path. Several homes took roof damage. A church at the intersection of Willwood Street and Poplar Street was destroyed.
Severe weather events like the 2011 tornado don't hit Newark every year. The vast majority of roofing work we do here is driven by accumulated wear, including years of summer storms, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and small wind events that did not make the news. By the time a roof shows visible damage, the cause is a slow decline rather than one catastrophic event.
What Our Customers Say
Permits and Inspections in Newark
Permits for roof replacement inside Newark city limits are issued by the City of Newark Engineering and Zoning Department. The department is located at City Hall, 40 W. Main Street, Newark, OH 43055. The city office line is (740) 670-7500. Engineering and Zoning handles the permit application and schedules the final inspection.
We file the permit with the City of Newark on behalf of the homeowner, so there's no separate paperwork on your end. Once the install is complete, the city sends an inspector out to close the permit. We hand you the final paperwork after that inspection passes, which is what you'll want for any future insurance claim or home sale.
Outside Newark city limits but still inside Licking County, the Licking County Building Department handles permits. We handle filing with whichever office has jurisdiction over your property.
