FAQ: How Do I Know If My Roof Has Storm Damage? π©οΈ
One of the most common questions we hear from Austin homeowners after a storm is: "How do I know if my roof has storm damage?"
The short answer: Look for visible signs, but know that some damage hides where you can't see it.
Visible Signs to Look For:
β
Missing, curled, or cracked shingles
β
Granules collecting in gutters or downspouts
β
Dented or damaged flashing around vents and chimneys
β
Fallen tree limbs or debris on the roof
β
Water stains on ceilings or walls inside your home
Hidden Signs That Require a Professional:
π Bruised shingles (soft spots that aren't visible from the ground)
π Sealant failure around pipe boots and penetrations
π Damaged underlayment beneath the shingles
π Decking that's been compromised by moisture
Why Professional Inspections Matter:
You can't always see storm damage from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles without breaking them. Wind can lift shingles and break the seal without tearing them off. Only a trained eye on the roof can spot these hidden issues.
The Bottom Line:
If you suspect storm damage, don't wait. A small issue today can become a leak tomorrowβand a costly repair next week.
