How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Thunderstorm
Why worry about a storm like this? Even minor hail and gusty winds can cause hidden roof problems. Here’s what every Concord homeowner should check after the weather passes:
- Check for missing or damaged shingles—especially along the roof’s edges and ridges.
- Inspect your gutters and downspouts for dents, blockages, or loose attachments. Hail can easily dent metal gutters.
- Look for granule buildup from asphalt shingles in your gutters or at downspout exits; this can signal hail or wind damage.
- Scan your attic or ceilings for water spots or leaks, which may indicate roof punctures from wind-blown debris or hail.
