6 Signs Of Storm Damage on Your Roof
It's important to address storm damage promptly by conducting a thorough inspection and making necessary repairs. Ignoring storm-related issues can lead to further damage, increased costs, and potential safety hazards. Get to know the most common types of storm damage we see on homeowner’s rooftops on a regular basis.
Missing or damaged shingles
High winds and flying debris during a storm can dislodge or break shingles on your roof. This exposes the underlying structure and makes it vulnerable to water infiltration.
Leaks and water damage
Heavy rain, hail, or snow during a storm can lead to leaks in your roof. Damaged or missing shingles, as well as compromised flashing or sealant, can allow water to seep into your home, leading to water damage, rotting of wood, and mold growth.
Roof punctures
Falling tree branches, hailstones, or other debris carried by strong winds can puncture your roof's surface, creating openings for water to enter. This can result in significant leaks and damage to the interior of your home.
Damaged flashing
Flashing, which is the material used to seal gaps around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations, can be loosened or torn off during a storm. This compromises the waterproofing of these vulnerable areas, increasing the risk of leaks.
Gutters and downspout damage
Severe storms can cause damage to gutters and downspouts, including bending, sagging, or detachment. This can lead to improper water drainage, causing water to overflow and potentially damage your roof and the surrounding areas.
Structural damage
In extreme cases, such as during a tornado or hurricane, storms can cause severe structural damage to your roof. This can include complete roof collapse or sections of the roof being ripped off.
