Your Roof and Severe Summer Weather: What You Need to Know
Storms like tonight’s—packed with wind gusts and hail—can take a toll on local roofs. Minor hail might not always seem dangerous, but repeated impacts and wind-driven debris can loosen shingles, dent flashing, or create small leaks that worsen over time.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
- Visible Shingle Damage: Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles from ground level.
- Granules in Gutters: Check for excessive granules in gutters or downspouts, which indicate shingle wear.
- Water Stains: Inspect ceilings and attic spaces for new water stains or dampness.
- Damaged Flashing: Examine metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents for dents or separation.
- Debris Accumulation: Remove branches or debris from the roof as soon as it’s safe.
