Recognizing signs of roof storm damage

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.

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