The 6 Signs Your Roof Has Been Hit by a Storm

Storms can wreak havoc on your home, and one of the most vulnerable parts is your roof. High winds, hail, and heavy rain can cause significant damage that might not always be obvious at first glance. As a homeowner, it’s essential to know the signs of storm damage to your roof so you can address any issues promptly. 

 

Below are six signs to look out for:

 

1. Missing or Damaged Shingles

After a storm, take a close look at your roof from the ground. If you notice any missing or damaged shingles, it’s a clear sign that your roof has been affected by the storm. High winds can rip shingles off your roof or cause them to curl, crack, or become dislodged. Even small amounts of damage can compromise the integrity of your roof and lead to leaks if left unaddressed.

 

2. Dents or Bruises

Should your residence sustain hail impact during a storm, it is possible that your roof could exhibit dents or bruising. Such damage may not be readily visible from ground level, thus necessitating a thorough inspection. It is critical to examine the roof closely for areas where the shingles might show dents or small indentations. While hail damage may not immediately result in leaks, it has the potential to compromise the integrity of the shingles, thereby leading to future issues.

 

3. Granule Loss

Asphalt shingles are equipped with a granular layer designed to shield them from solar radiation and various environmental factors. Following a storm, it is advisable to inspect your gutters and downspouts for granule accumulation. A substantial loss of granules may suggest that your shingles have incurred damage from hail or strong winds. Such granule depletion can diminish the longevity of your roof and increase its vulnerability to additional damage.

 

4. Leaks or Water Stains

One of the most obvious signs of storm damage is a leaky roof. If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, it’s essential to investigate the source of the leak. Even small leaks can lead to significant water damage if left untreated. After a storm, check your attic for signs of water intrusion, such as damp insulation or puddles of water. Addressing leaks promptly can help prevent further damage to your home.

 

5. Loose Flashing or Vent Covers 

High winds possess the potential to compromise the integrity of flashing and vent covers on your roof. These elements are crucial in safeguarding against water intrusion around chimneys, vents, and similar openings. Following a storm, it is advisable to diligently inspect these areas for indications of damage or misalignment. Should you identify any compromised flashing or vent covers, it is imperative to arrange for their prompt repair or replacement to avert leakage.

 

6. Sagging or Dipping Areas

A severe storm may inflict structural damage on your roof, manifesting as sagging or dipping areas. Should you observe any segments of your roof presenting with sagging or a noticeable dip compared to surrounding areas, it is imperative to secure a professional roofer's inspection. Structural impairments can threaten your home's safety and integrity, necessitating immediate attention.

Recognizing the indicators of storm-induced damage to your roof is crucial for safeguarding your property and preserving its longevity. Prompt intervention can mitigate further damages and lead to substantial cost savings over time
