You may need to contact your local contractor for a roof repair following a severe rain or hailstorm. Signs of storm damage may not always be visible to the untrained eye, making it essential to get an inspection after an extreme weather event. By having your roof checked by a professional, you can detect and deal with the damage while it has not spread.
Read on to learn how storms and hail can affect residential roofs.
You will know your roof has hail damage if its surface has random patterns of cracks and dents. There could also be damage present on the metal parts of the system, such as flashing, vent pipes, and chimney caps. Hail can also loosen the protective granules of roofing shingles. An excessive amount of granules in your gutters is a sign you need to contact your roofing contractor.
Rain roof damage is quite common in residential roofs. Water is the worst enemy of most components of your home, including the roof. The older your roof is, the more prone it is to leak during a severe rainstorm. Typical signs of roof damage include rot, leaks, and mold.
Inside your home, you can check for signs of storm damage. Look for water or dark stains on your ceiling and walls. In your attic, check if there is sunlight peeking through the roof. If there is, it is an indication that there are loose or missing shingles.
