Did you know different types of damage can occur to your roof over time?
Yes, storm-related roof damage varies significantly, ranging from high-wind damage (lifted/missing shingles, creasing) to hail impact (dents, cracks, granule loss) and structural issues from debris. Even if it looks fine, roofs can suffer from hidden water leaks or weakened materials that lead to rot or mold later.
Key Types of Roof Storm Damage:
Wind Damage: Creates "creased" lines on shingles where they have been lifted, or completely removes them. It also damages gutters and tears off flashing
Hail Damage: Causes dents, punctures, or cracks in shingles, metal roofs, and tiles. A key indicator is accelerated granule loss (the shingles look "bruised" or bare).
Falling Debris Damage: Branches or trees falling on the roof can cause punctures and structural damage
Water Damage: Heavy rain causes leaks, forcing water under shingles, which can lead to interior stains, rotted wood, and mold growth.
Ice/Snow Damage: In winter, ice dams can form on roof edges, causing water to back up and seep under materials, while the weight of snow can cause sagging.
It is highly recommended to have a professional inspection to identify these issues, especially since some, like granule loss, can be hard to spot from the ground.
