Is Your Roof Ready for Severe Weather?
With winds up to 50 mph and hail in the forecast, roofs in Union County are at risk tonight. Local homes can suffer from:
- Shingle bruising or cracking from hail
- Lifted, torn, or missing shingles due to strong winds
- Leaks caused by hail impacts or flying debris
- Blocked gutters leading to water overflow and interior damage
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
Not sure what to look for after a thunderstorm or hail event? Here’s how you can perform a safe, effective post-storm inspection:
- Start from the Ground: Walk your property and look for shingle pieces, granules, or metal fragments in your yard and downspouts.
- Examine Gutters & Downspouts: Are they overflowing, clogged, or loose? Gutters often catch hail granules and roof debris.
- Look for Visible Damage: Use binoculars to spot cracked, curled, or missing shingles, or dents on metal flashing and vents.
- Check Indoors: Notice new water stains, drips, or musty odors in your attic or ceilings? These can signal leaks from roof damage.
- Document Everything: Take clear photos of any suspected damage. This helps with insurance documentation and speeds up repair claims.
Remember, climbing onto your roof can be dangerous—especially after a storm. When in doubt, call a professional for a free inspection.
