Trusted Hail Damage Roofers Serving Mid-South Homeowners and Businesses

While some storm damage is subtle, there are key indicators that tell you exactly when it’s time to call in a professional. Knowing what to look for can help you catch structural vulnerabilities before they compromise your interior. 

Here are the signs that require a thorough inspection:

• Granule Loss: Shingle surfaces that appear stripped or patchy are a common sign of hail impact. Loose granules often wash down into the gutters and downspouts, where they collect after a storm.
• Hail Impact Marks: These appear as dark spots or soft areas on shingles where the mat underneath has been bruised by impact.
• Cracking and Splitting: Look for broken corners, cracks, or splits on shingles, tiles, or slate that compromise the surface’s ability to shed water.
• Dented Metal Components: Visible denting on vents, flashing, ridge caps, gutters, or downspouts, can easily indicate the force of impact across the roof.
• Flat Roof Damage: These appear as tears, punctures, or stressed seams on flat roofing membranes that may not be obvious until pooling occurs.
• Interior Warning Signs: Attic stains, damp insulation, ceiling discoloration, or dripping after a storm often indicate an active entry point.

Always check your gutters and downspouts after a hail storm. A buildup of shingle granules in the troughs is a reliable sign that the entire roof should be inspected before the next storm season.
