How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Thunderstorm
Thunderstorms with strong winds and heavy rain can lead to hidden roof damage that isn’t always obvious at first glance. Wondering if your roof took a hit?
- Look for missing or curled shingles, especially along edges and peaks.
- Check your attic or ceilings for new water stains or leaks.
- Inspect gutters for granules—these tiny particles signal shingle wear.
- Scan the yard for fallen branches or debris that may have landed on your roof.
Even if you don’t see obvious damage, minor issues can quickly develop into leaks or structural concerns—especially after repeated storms.
