Why Roof Inspections Matter After a Storm
Thunderstorms with wind and hail—even pea-sized—can cause more damage to your roof than you might think. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly after a storm? Here’s how you can recognize and inspect roof damage safely after today’s severe weather:
How to Recognize Roof Damage After Hail or Wind
- Check for visible hail impacts: Look for dents on gutters, downspouts, or soft metals around your roofline. Even small hail can bruise shingles, leading to leaks over time.
- Inspect for missing or lifted shingles: Wind gusts up to 40 mph can peel back shingles or knock them loose, especially along roof edges and ridges.
- Look for debris and fallen limbs: Tree branches or twigs on your roof suggest impact damage or blocked gutters, which can lead to water intrusion.
- Spot water stains inside: Discoloration on ceilings or walls often signals a leak that started during severe weather.
