How to Check Your Roof for Storm Damage

Bad weather can create potentially costly issues for your roof, even just from the wind itself. The main job for a roof is to defend your home, so after a storm you may find your roof has some subtle damage that you may not have noticed. If this isn’t dealt with straight away, it can get worst over time.

During a particularly bad storm, your roof could lose some tiles. If this happens it will reveal the material beneath, leaving it vulnerable. You may find you can see light coming through from the inside, which means if it rains water may come through, causing damp and mildew.

After a storm you may find damaged branches and trees that have fallen have caused substantial problems to the roof structure. This can be very risky for the people living in the property, so staying somewhere else temporarily would be the safest option. If your home has a fallen tree, then you need to make sure an expert roofer is contacted straight away to survey the issue and begin the repair work.

Even if your roof looks alright, you should still have it properly assessed. Some of the concealed issues could become worse, so you should watch out for tearing and cracks on certain parts of the roofline, such as the fascia or gutters. You should also look out for dents in the roof tiles, as these should be the best they can be, or else they lose their purpose.
