Summer is here, bringing with it the potential for severe weather storms that can wreak havoc on your home’s roof.
At Raw Roofing Solutions, we understand the importance of maintaining a sturdy, weather-resistant roof to protect your home. Here are several tips to help you determine if your roof may have been damaged by recent storms.
- Inspect Your Attic: Start by checking your attic for any signs of water leakage or light peeking through the roof. Water stains on the ceiling or walls and damp insulation are clear indicators of roof damage.
- Look for Missing or Damaged Shingles: Severe storms can easily dislodge or damage shingles. From the ground, use binoculars to inspect your roof for any missing, cracked, or curled shingles. If you notice any irregularities, it’s time to call in the professionals.
- Check for Granule Loss: Asphalt shingles often lose granules when they are damaged. You can find these granules in your gutters or at the base of downspouts. Excessive granule loss can compromise the effectiveness of your shingles, leading to further damage.
- Examine Flashing and Vents: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can be particularly vulnerable during storms. Look for any signs of rust, cracks, or loose flashing, which can lead to leaks and water damage.
- Inspect Gutters and Downspouts: Debris from damaged shingles often ends up in gutters and downspouts. Ensure these components are clear of blockages and look for any pieces of shingles or roofing material.
