Learn More About Roof Damage Due to Storms

Storm damage to roofing can be a significant concern for homeowners, as it can compromise the structural integrity of the roof and lead to water leaks, mold growth, and other issues if not addressed promptly. Here are some common types of storm damage to roofing:

• Wind damage: High winds can lift and loosen shingles, tear them off completely, or cause them to curl or buckle. Wind-driven debris can also cause damage by impacting the roof surface.
• Hail damage: Hail can cause dents, cracks, or punctures in roofing materials such as shingles, metal panels, or tiles. This damage may not always be immediately visible, but it can lead to leaks and deterioration over time.
• Water damage: Heavy rain associated with storms can lead to water intrusion through damaged or missing shingles, flashing, or seals around roof penetrations such as vents, chimneys, or skylights.
  
• Tree damage: Falling trees or branches during storms can cause extensive damage to roofs, including punctures, tears, or structural damage.
• Debris damage: Storms can deposit debris such as branches, leaves, or other materials on the roof, which can block gutters and downspouts, leading to water backup and roof damage.
