How Storm Damage Can Affect Your Roof Storms can cause damage to a roof in many ways both subtle and extreme. Hail, wind, rain, and falling debris from a recent storm can easily damage the shingles on the roof of your home or business. Heavy rain can cause water to start to pool, causing or exacerbating existing leaks that you may not have known were already there. Be sure to keep a close eye on the flashing around the chimney (if you have one) or in the valleys of your roof. Damp, mossy, or previously damaged areas can be extremely dangerous and need to be fixed by a professional roofing contractor immediately. Typically, roofing materials begin to suffer from hail damage when they reach around 1 inch in their diameter. Persistent hail can severely damage your roof which could require extensive repairs or even complete roof replacement. Metal roofs are generally more weather-resistant than other common roof types, but a big enough hail storm can dent even the toughest metal roofs. If any shingles on your roof are damaged by hail or falling debris, they should be highly considered for replacement. Replacing damaged shingles will make your roof much, much safer for any future storms that may pass through your area.
