Why Storms Like This Matter for Your Roof
Strong wind gusts and heavy rain are more than just an inconvenience—they’re a real risk to the integrity of your roof. Have you ever noticed missing shingles or debris in your yard after a storm? Gusty winds can lift shingles, expose underlayment, or allow water to seep in. Over time, even minor storm damage can turn into major (and costly) repairs if not addressed quickly.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
- Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles from the ground.
- Check for pieces of shingles or granules in gutters and downspouts.
- Inspect your attic for leaks or water stains.
- Walk around your property and look for fallen branches or debris that may have impacted the roof.
- Notice any damp spots on ceilings or walls—these can be early signs of roof leaks.
