Recognizing signs of roof storm damage

Here are just a few of the visible signs of storm damage. Your roofer can help you determine a course of action.

Hail Damage
Hail stones can travel as fast as 100 mph. Your roofer can help identify less obvious impact sites.

Wind Damage
Wind uplift is not always as obvious as torn-away shingles. Your roofer can inspect for loosened sealant at shingle edges.

Storm Damage
Storm debris should be removed before the next wind storm scrapes it across your shingles, doing further damage.

Potential Roof Leaks
Water staining on inside ceilings and walls is one of the sure signs of a leak. And the moisture could also lead to mold.
