If you live in Texas, then you already know that Mother Nature loves to surprise our buildings with unexpected storms. From hail to even tornadoes, there are several ways that a rooftop can weather some serious storm damage.
Your roof is meant to protect your home, and can’t perform its duties when it suffers significant damage during a storm. If you’ve recently waited out the night during a heavy storm, be on the lookout for these telltale signs that it’s time for storm damage restoration or overall roof replacement.
Hail Damage
In general, hail is an unsettling aspect of weather because of its ability to cause substantial damage when it falls. Extensive hail damage to your roof may be difficult to spot, but even the smallest cracks as a result of hail can lead to expensive leaks.
A professional roofer can inspect your rooftop and find even the most minute signs of hail damage like:
- Dents
- Cracked Shingles
- Missing Granules
Shingle Damage
The high winds that come with heavy storms can quickly leave your shingles in shambles. If you start to notice curling, cracking, or even missing shingles, this is a red flag that your roof has been impacted by the storm.
Left ignored, damaged and missing shingles can lead to damaging roof leaks and expensive repairs down the road.
Fallen Debris
During a heavy storm, tree branches and other forms of debris can damage your roof. While a large branch smashing into your roof may be an obvious problem, even smaller amounts of debris can result in cracked shingles that lead to roof leaks.
If you start to notice a leak or an excess amount of debris on around your home, then it’s time to call in the experts and take care of the problem before it further hampers the integrity of your roof.
Water Damage
When your roof suffers damage after a heavy rain, some of the serious signs can start to appear days after the storm. Although most people think the only sign of a roof leak is the visual drip through a crack in the ceiling, other signs of a leak include water damage that forms inside your walls and ceiling.
While these types of damages may not drip, they certainly have their red flags. If you start to notice puddles of discoloration within your walls and ceiling or smell the must of mold in these areas, this is a sure sign that your home has sustained water damage.
