Signs of Storm Damage
After a severe storm, look for these warning signs on your home's exterior. If you spot any of these, call us for a free inspection.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Wind and hail can tear shingles from the deck or lift their edges, exposing the underlayment to water intrusion.
Dented Gutters or Downspouts
Hail leaves visible dents and dings on aluminum gutters and downspouts, indicating likely roof damage above.
Cracked or Broken Siding
Large hail and wind-driven debris can crack, puncture, or dislodge vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding panels.
Water Stains on Ceilings/Walls
Interior water stains often indicate roof damage that has allowed moisture to penetrate into your attic and living spaces.
Granule Loss in Gutters
After a storm, check your gutters for black granules. This is a sign that hail has stripped the protective layer from your shingles.
Damaged Flashing Around Vents
Storm damage can bend, crack, or dislodge the metal flashing around roof vents, chimneys, and pipe boots.
