How This Storm Impacts Concord Homes and Roofs
Gusty winds and hail don't just threaten outdoor plans—they can also put your home at risk. Even pea-sized hail and 40 mph wind gusts are enough to:
- Loosen or crack asphalt shingles
- Bend or dislodge gutters and downspouts
- Batter vents, flashing, and roof-mounted equipment
- Knock limbs onto rooftops, causing hidden or visible damage
Are you wondering how to spot storm-related roof damage after the weather clears? Timely inspection is key to preventing leaks and long-term issues.
How to Inspect Your Roof After a Storm
- Walk around your home's exterior and look for missing shingles, dented gutters, or debris on the roof.
- Check your attic for any signs of water infiltration or daylight peeking through the roof boards.
- Look at ground-level for pieces of shingles or hail impacts on siding and outdoor furniture—these can be clues to roof damage above.
- Avoid climbing onto your roof; leave that to the professionals for your safety.
