How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Thunderstorm
Wondering if your roof can handle today’s gusts and hail? Here’s what to look for after the storm:
- Visible shingle damage: Check for missing, curled, or cracked shingles—especially after hail strikes.
- Granule loss: Look in your gutters for excess shingle granules. Hail and wind often strip these protective layers from asphalt shingles.
- Leaks or water stains: Inspect interior ceilings and attic spaces for new stains or dampness.
- Dented gutters and flashing: Hail can dent metal components, leaving your roof vulnerable to future storms.
