How can I tell if my roof has suffered storm damage?

There are some things you can do to determine if your roof was damaged by a storm.

Missing shingles after a storm: Take a look at the roof. You can tell if your roof is damaged if you find any missing shingles.

Check for granules within the gutters to determine if your roof is damaged from a storm. You may see a lot of granules indicating that your shingles are damaged or have lost their protective coating.

Leaks: A storm can cause roof leaks. It's a good idea for professionals to inspect your walls and ceilings if you notice water spots.

What should I do if my home is damaged by storms?

Call a professional if you suspect that your home has been damaged by storms. A professional roofing contractor can inspect your roof and provide you with an accurate assessment of the damage. You can also ask them to help you determine if you should file a claim with your insurer.

In the event that you need to file a claim for roofing work, your adjuster can help ensure that your repairs are covered.

Most storm damage can be covered by homeowners insurance. It's a good idea, however, to verify with your insurance company.
