Severe storms can leave behind hidden roof damage that may go unnoticed until costly repairs are needed. While missing shingles and leaks are clear indicators, other issues like weakened seals, small punctures, and damaged flashing can silently compromise your roof’s integrity. Performing a thorough roof inspection after a storm can help prevent long-term structural problems and expensive fixes.
Here’s How You Inspect for Storm Damage
Start by assessing your roof from the ground, looking for debris buildup, dented gutters, or water stains on exterior walls—these could indicate roof damage. Inside your home, check for ceiling discoloration, peeling paint, or damp spots in the attic, as they may signal hidden leaks. If you can safely access your roof, examine shingles for cracks, curling, or missing granules. Even minor damage can weaken your roofing system and lead to water intrusion over time.
Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance is essential for storm-proofing your roof. Keep your gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, and schedule regular inspections to detect minor problems before they escalate. If your home has recently experienced heavy wind, rain, or hail, consulting a professional roofing contractor is the best way to identify hidden vulnerabilities and protect your home from future damage.
