Intense storms can cause significant damage to your home, and much of it can go unnoticed. Few homeowners inspect their roofs after a storm, but a check is worthwhile to help keep your roof in good condition. We recommend homeowners stay on the ground: observe your roof with binoculars, check your attic for leaks or light coming through, and schedule a professional inspection rather than climbing onto the roof yourself.
Wind speeds above 39 mph can damage a roof. Wind can blow off shingles, especially if they're loose, and can expose underlying waterproof layers. Hail can knock granules off the shingles.
Granules aren't just decorative — they help protect your roof from rain and sun damage. Significant rainfall can also lead to water damage if the roof's protection is compromised.
Signs You Need Storm Damage Roof Repair
If a damaged roof isn't repaired, the problem can lead to a shortened roof lifespan and further damage to your property.
If you plan to sell your home in the future, your roof's condition is often factored into the property's value. If you don't want to get on your roof yourself, reach out to a professional like Royal Roofing for an assessment.
Common signs your roof may need repair:
- Water pooling in certain areas
- Curled, bent, or damaged shingles
- Missing or loose shingles
- Loss of granules
Your homeowner's insurance may cover some storm damage. We can help document visible damage for your claim, though we don't negotiate with insurers or guarantee coverage decisions.
