Raleigh storms can strike fast—and your roof takes the brunt of it.

From heavy winds to hail and falling debris, storms can cause hidden roof damage that often goes unnoticed until leaks appear. Knowing what to look for—and what steps to take—after a storm can save you major stress and expense.

Common Signs of Storm Damage

Missing or Lifted Shingles
After a windstorm, check for shingles on the ground or spots on your roof that appear bare or uneven. Missing shingles expose your underlayment to water.

Hail Dents or Granule Loss
Hail can bruise shingles or knock off protective granules, shortening your roof’s life and making it more vulnerable to leaks.

Leaks or Water Stains Indoors
Stains on ceilings or walls are often the first signs of a compromised roof.

Damaged Flashing or Gutters
Storms often bend or tear flashing around chimneys and vents—key areas that keep water out.

Avoid climbing onto your roof. Instead, use binoculars or take photos from a safe distance.
