Recognizing Storm Damage
Storm damage can often be difficult to detect without a trained eye, as hailstones smaller than one inch can leave behind subtle signs that are easy to overlook.
For example, bruising and minor granule loss on shingles may not be immediately visible but can significantly weaken the roof’s structure over time. Early detection is crucial to prevent these minor issues from escalating into major problems, which can lead to more extensive and costly repairs. By catching damage early, you can protect your property from leaks, structural issues, and other long-term impacts.
Signs of Storm Damage
Missing Shingle Granules
Granule loss occurs when hailstones strike asphalt shingles, dislodging the protective ceramic granules that coat them. This loss exposes the black asphalt underneath, causing the shingles to deteriorate faster due to increased exposure to the sun and moisture.
Bruising
Hailstones can leave behind indentations or bruises in shingles that are often hard to see. These bruises create soft, weak spots that reduce the shingle’s service life and can lead to leaks over time.
Cracking
Large hailstones can cause circular cracks around the impact area on shingles. These cracks indicate damage that penetrates through the shingle, making immediate replacement necessary to prevent water leaks and further structural damage.
Dents
Metal components of the roof, such as ridges, vents, flashing, and skylight frames, can exhibit dents after a hailstorm. The size and number of these dents can help determine the severity of the damage to the roof.
Damage to Other Materials
Storm damage can also affect other roofing materials like cedar, slate, tile, and metal. This damage may include cracks, breaks, and missing pieces, all of which require prompt attention to maintain the roof’s integrity.

Steps to Take Immediately After Suspecting Storm Damage
Inspect Your Property Safely
Look for visible signs of damage from a safe location. Avoid climbing on the roof or inspecting dangerous areas yourself.
Document the Damage
Take clear photos and notes of any visible damage to your roof, siding, windows, and other parts of your property.
Prevent Further Damage
If possible, cover any exposed areas with a tarp or plastic sheeting to prevent water intrusion and additional damage.
