Key Signs of Storm Damage

  1. Missing or Damaged Shingles
    Look for shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing entirely. These issues expose the underlying layers of your roof, increasing the risk of leaks.

  2. Water Stains Inside Your Home
    Stains or discoloration on ceilings or walls signal a potential roof leak. Even small water spots might indicate significant damage above.

  3. Granules in Gutters or Downspouts
    After a storm, check your gutters for roof granules. These protect shingles from the elements; their loss leaves your roof vulnerable.

  4. Sagging Roof Sections
    A sagging roof often indicates severe structural damage caused by water infiltration or broken supports. Prompt attention is critical.

  5. Debris or Visible Damage on the Roof
    Wind-driven debris like branches can puncture, crack, or tear your roof. Even if the damage seems minor, debris can weaken the roof over time.
