Storm Damage : When To Call A Roofer

If you’re a homeowner, you know how important it is to maintain your property, especially your roof. Your roof is your first line of defense against harsh weather conditions, which makes it vulnerable to storm damage. But how do you know if your roof needs professional attention? In this blog post, we’ll discuss some signs that indicate you should call a roofer after a storm.

One of the first and most obvious signs that your roof has sustained storm damage is missing or damaged shingles. If you notice shingles on the ground or on your roof that are cracked, curled, or missing altogether, it’s time to call a roofer. Damaged or missing shingles can expose your roof to water and wind damage.  This can lead to further problems down the road.

If you notice leaks or water damage in your attic after a storm, it’s a sure sign that your roof needs attention. Water can seep through even the smallest of cracks or holes in your roof.  Water intrusion like this causes significant damage to your home’s structure and your personal belongings. If you notice water stains, mold, or dampness in your attic, it’s best to call Impact Roofing to inspect the damage and provide a solution.

Hail can cause significant storm damage to your roof, especially if the hailstones are large. If you notice dents or cracks in your shingles, or if you notice any other signs of storm damage after a hailstorm, it’s essential to call a roofer immediately. Hail damage can weaken your roof’s structure and cause leaks, which can lead to further damage down the road.

Storm Damage To Gutters

After a storm, it’s common for your gutters to become clogged with debris. If your gutters are clogged, water can’t flow freely.  The overflowing water can back up and cause storm damage to your roof, fascia, siding and the structure of your home. If you notice water overflowing from your gutters or if you see debris clogging your gutters, it’s time to call Impact Roofing to inspect the damage and provide a solution.

In conclusion, if you notice any of the signs listed above, it’s essential to call a roofer like Impact Roofing after a storm.
