How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Wondering what this severe weather could mean for your home—especially your roof? Hail, strong wind gusts, and driving rain are a serious combination. Here’s what to check once the storm passes:
- Shingles: Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles. Hail can knock granules loose, leaving bare spots.
- Gutters & Downspouts: Inspect for dents, leaks, or separation from your roof edge.
- Attic Leaks: Check for water stains or damp spots on your ceilings and attic rafters.
- Yard Debris: Fallen limbs or branches on the roof often signal unseen damage beneath.
