Severe weather can damage your roof in many ways. To diagnose storm damage is to know the kind of red flags to expect from the elements. 

FALLEN DEBRIS

Let’s start with something impossible to miss: fallen trees. Most experienced wind damage roof repair specialists would say that storms could give your home a beating with large branches. Hefty limbs flying at high velocity can break your roof in two, paving the way for water infiltration.

SNOW-INFLICTED COLLAPSE

The sheer weight of dozens of inches of snow can cause your roof to cave in. Fortunately, a roof collapse often sends warning signs before it actually happens. Prior to breaking down, you would most likely experience leaks and hear some cracking sounds first.

BLOW-OFF

High winds can lift loose roofing materials and tear them off. In turn, the underlying deck will be exposed and vulnerable to the elements. If your roofing materials manage to hold on to the sheathing, strong winds could break the seal that bonds them together, making them susceptible to wind-driven rain.
