How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Severe thunderstorms like today’s can cause immediate and long-term harm to roofs. Curious about what to look for after the skies clear?
- Missing or lifted shingles: High winds may tear or curl shingles, exposing the roof deck.
- Dented or cracked shingles: Penny-size hail can leave visible marks, especially on softer asphalt roofs.
- Granule loss: Look for bald spots or granules in your gutters—hail and wind can strip protective materials away.
- Leaks or water stains: Check your attic and ceiling for new moisture spots, which often signal hidden damage.
- Debris accumulation: Branches or heavy limbs can stress your roof structure—even if there’s no puncture, heavy weight is a risk.
