How To Spot Roofing Storm Damages

As mentioned, it would be wise to conduct a full roof inspection right after a storm to be able to prevent further or intensifying the damages done to the roof over time. But for some reason, people would usually only call for storm damage roof repair if they find the previously upset weather extremely strong or if they find some sort of issue on their roof. Here are some cases that would help property owners decide when to call for roofing inspections or provide temporary repairs.

There may be some cases in which roofing materials start Cracking which are most likely damages caused by impact. Professional roofing companies can be contacted for a complete roofing inspection but it may still need some temporary repairs before it is possible. These cracks are naturally seen on shingles and asphalt, metal, or concrete and clay tile roofs.

A commonly experienced problem during tropical wind storms is Missing Shingles and Broken or Loose Concrete Roof Tiles. These strong winds may be strong enough to displace shingles and tiles. Tropical storms are also capable of removing granules from any shingle by impact. These displaced granules may even penetrate the roofs. This may be due to long storms or windy rainstorms that are also able to displace countless shingles over time.

There may be strong cases of storms that could lead to Debris piling up on the roofs. This debris could be anything, from small palm or tree debris to large palm fronds depending on the severity of the storm. Although smaller debris or lighter objects may not be much of a problem, large and heavier objects may dent or impact the surface of the shingle, tile, or metal roofing causing the roof to be exposed to moisture intrusion. 

Similarly, Hailstones can also cause quite the damage as random debris. Without a doubt, aside from large debris and tree branches, intense damage is unavoidable when dealing with hailstorms. The intensity of the damage may be estimated when the size of the hailstones is seen.  There may be some more cases of damages that could be caused by storms but these are the likely ones to be experienced.
