Storm Damage Restoration in Charlotte

How Can You Spot Signs of Storm Damage on Your Roof?

After a storm, recognizing roof damage early can save you time, money, and stress in the long run. Here are a few signs that indicate it’s time for a professional inspection: 

• Missing or Lifted Shingles. Look for areas where shingles appear loose, curled, or missing entirely, as these can allow water to infiltrate the roof.
• Granule Loss on Shingles. Check your gutters and downspouts for excessive granules, which indicates shingles may be deteriorating and losing their weather-resistant properties.
• Dents or Cracks on Roofing Material. Hail damage often leaves visible dents on shingles, slate, and metal roofs. Cracks may also be present, weakening the roof’s overall integrity.
• Water Stains or Leaks Indoors. Stains on ceilings or water marks in your attic are tell-tale signs of roof leaks that need immediate attention to prevent further damage.
• Debris Buildup. Accumulated leaves, branches, or other debris on the roof or gutters can lead to clogging and water pooling, especially on flat roofs.

If you notice any of these signs, Steele Restoration offers comprehensive roof inspections to help you assess the damage and determine the best course of action.
