Roof damage Inspection

When storm season arrives in your area, it's important to know the signs of damage to your roof. Your roof takes the brunt of the force from a storm, so you must ensure it's in tip-top shape.

As an experienced Columbus roofing company, we have helped repair numerous storm damages for our customers. This article will cover how to spot roofing damage during this storm season. 

Missing or Damaged Shingles 

The shingles of your roofing system will give you a clear picture of the damage it sustained. Broken or missing shingles are an obvious sign that your roof needs a repair service.

You can spot these signs of damage by walking around your property and looking for pieces of broken shingles in the grass. These broken shingles can lead your property to deal with leaks and structural problems.

Water Stains Indoors

Water stains on the ceiling or walls are a sign that your roofing system is experiencing a leak. Brownish or yellow spots are generally a sign that water is dripping into the home and then drying. 

When you spot water stains, you should not hesitate to schedule an inspection for the roof. The longer you wait, the greater the chance of a costly repair for your roofing system.

Sagging Roofing Sections

If you spot a sagging roofing section, this requires immediate assistance from a reputable Columbus GAF roofer. A sagging roof means there are structural problems caused by continuous water exposure. 

Once the roof reaches a point where it's sagging, the underlying decking and supports are compromised. If left unfixed, it could lead to a collapse of the roofing system. 

Overflowing Gutters

When gutters fill with broken shingle fragments and granules, they can start to clog. After a severe storm, you should check your gutters for any signs of debris from your roofing system. 

Things like shingle granules in a gutter mean it is deteriorating and needs repair. Additionally, having a gutter overflow can also mean there is a problem with the flashing.
