How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
After a storm with high winds and hail, you might wonder: what does roof damage actually look like? Here’s how to spot potential issues:
- Missing or lifted shingles: Look for bare patches or uneven shingle lines from ground level.
- Granule loss: Check gutters and downspouts for excessive shingle granules.
- Dented metal components: Inspect vents, flashing, or gutters for hail dents.
- Leaks or water spots: Check your attic or ceilings for new stains or moisture after the rain passes.
- Debris on the roof: Fallen branches or debris can lead to punctures or hidden water entry points.
