Common Types of Storm Roof Damage
Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground.
Wind-Lifted Shingles
Strong gusts can lift shingles and compromise the seal that keeps water out.
Hail Impact
Hail can bruise shingles, remove granules, and dent vents, flashing, and gutters.
Debris Damage
Branches and debris can scratch, puncture, or dislodge roofing materials.
Water Intrusion
Heavy rain can expose weak points around valleys, vents, and flashing.
Post-Storm Inspection Areas
These areas are often where storm problems show up first.
Shingle Surface
Look for missing shingles, lifted edges, and unusual dark spots.
Metal Components
Check gutters, vents, flashing, and downspouts for dents or displacement.
Interior Ceilings
Water stains or new discoloration may suggest storm-related intrusion.
Repair Priority
Active leaks and exposed decking should be addressed before cosmetic damage.
Homeowner Checklist
- Inspect safely from the ground first.
- Check attic and ceilings for new water stains.
