Be Storm Smart: How to Recognize Roof Damage After Thunderstorms
Worried about your home after a storm like this? It’s natural. Thunderstorms with high winds and hail can cause hidden roof damage that, if left unchecked, leads to leaks and expensive repairs. Here’s what to watch for after the skies clear:
- Visible shingle bruising or missing shingles – Look for patches on your roof that look different or seem bare.
- Granules collecting in gutters – After hail, your gutters may fill with small sandy granules from damaged shingles.
- Dents or impact marks – Check metal flashing, vents, and roof edges for dings or indentations.
- Water stains inside – Discoloration on ceilings or in the attic could signal a hidden roof leak.
