How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Once the weather passes, it’s important to check your home for signs of roof trouble. Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick checklist:
- Visible shingle damage: Look for cracking, curling, or missing shingles.
- Granules in gutters: Pea-sized hail can loosen protective granules from asphalt shingles—if you spot a buildup, your roof may be vulnerable.
- Indentations or bruising: Even small hail can leave dents that weaken shingle integrity.
- Water stains on ceilings or attic: These can be early signs of leaks caused by wind-driven rain or hail impact.
