How to Spot Roof Damage After a Storm
Storms with heavy rain and strong winds can wreak havoc on your roof. Often, damage isn’t obvious until leaks appear inside your home. Acting early can save you costly repairs later.
Common signs of storm damage
- Missing or slipped tiles: Look for gaps or uneven lines on your roof.
- Debris on the ground: Broken tiles or shingle granules around your property.
- Damp patches on ceilings or walls: A tell-tale sign water is getting in.
- Blocked gutters: Leaves & debris can cause overflow that damages fascia boards.
Check safely from the ground
Never climb on your roof yourself. Use binoculars to check for issues. If in doubt, contact a professional roofer for an inspection.
