How to Spot Hail and Wind Roof Damage
quickly from a typical Denver storm
Wind
damage from typical Denver storms can range from missing shingles to cracks in
the seal between shingles to larger cracks that allow water directly into your
home. Hail storm damage can actually bruise and dent you roof in a manner that
allows the structure of your damaged roof to be weakened enough to allow water
into our home. If you spot roof damage quickly you can reduce the chance that
additional damage will occur.
Some
roof damage like missing shingles is easy to spot,

while
other damage like bruised, dented, or mold damaged shingles can be almost
invisible from the road.

If
you have binoculars, it may help to use them as you inspect your roof from your
yard or road. If you need to get a closer look at your roof you can use a ladder.
Do not go on or walk around your roof. It’s possible that you may cause more
damage, and the structure of our roof may not be stable if the weather that
caused the damage was severe enough.
