“Assessing storm damage to your roof
Date Published:Sep 10 2012
If you suspect your roof has been damaged by a storm, the following questions can help you decide whether or not you need to call a professional roofing contractor.
Has there been a hail or thunderstorm in your area within the last one to two years?
If a major storm has occurred in the last few years, strong wind or hail could have damaged your roof even if it doesn’t show obvious signs like missing shingles or dents. It can take up to a year for the roof to start leaking after a storm.
Do you have missing shingles? Can you see possible storm damage from the ground?
Rodney Standifer of the Indianapolis area roofing company, ABC Roofing Co. says, “Assess storm damage from the ground by doing a visual inspection.” Missing shingles, gutters, and metal flashing are signs of roofing problems. According to ABC Roofing, vinyl siding is another obvious problem area where damages can be easily identified. “Your siding or fascia will be loose or missing after a wind storm, and hail damage can be easily seen on vinyl and aluminum siding.”
Have any of your neighbors had their roof replaced recently?
If your neighbors have had their roofs replaced because of storm damage, there’s a good chance your roof could be damaged as well. But since hail doesn’t fall on every street at the same rate, it’s possible that your neighbor’s roof could have suffered hail damage while yours did not.
Do you have interior leaks?
If your ceiling has water spots, leaks or other signs of water damage, your roof needs repair. For the more adventurous homeowner, take a look at the attic space; it can be a good way to inspect your roof condition from the underside. If you see any water stains or water drips running down your rafters, you should call a roofing contractor.”
