How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Thunderstorm
Worried about how this storm might impact your home? Here’s how you can quickly spot potential damage once the weather passes:
- Inspect for Missing or Broken Shingles: Look for bare spots or visible pieces of shingle in your yard or gutters.
- Check for Dents or Bruising: Pea size hail may leave subtle dents on metal flashing, gutters, or vents.
- Look for Granule Loss: Notice excess shingle granules near downspouts or around your foundation? This can be a sign of hail or wind damage.
- Assess Attic Leaks: After heavy rain, check your attic for wet spots, drips, or water stains.
- Examine Soffits and Fascia: Wind-driven rain can force water behind trim, leading to hidden rot or mold over time.
