1. Prioritize Safety First

Written By Brye Adamos

Before inspecting your roof or taking any action, ensure your safety and that of your family. Avoid climbing onto the roof during a storm or when the structure is unstable. If there are immediate hazards, such as exposed electrical lines or falling debris, evacuate the area and contact emergency services if necessary.

 

2. Assess the Damage

Once the storm has passed, carefully inspect your roof to identify visible damage. Look for:

  • Missing or broken shingles

  • Leaks or water stains on ceilings and walls

  • Dented or damaged flashing and gutters

  • Debris, such as branches, on the roof surface

For a closer inspection, consider hiring a professional roofing contractor to assess hard-to-spot issues.
