Understanding Causes & Identifying Signs of Room Damage
1. Wind Damage
Check your roof for signs of wind damage, such as missing or curling shingles, particularly along seams and joints. Wind can cause flashing to tear or buckle.
2. Hail Damage
Hail damage might be hard to spot from the ground. Look for dimples on metal surfaces or dark spots on asphalt shingles where granules have been knocked off. Check gutters for wood splinters from cedar shakes.
3. Rodent Damage
Inspect for chewed holes near the roof’s edges or ridges, typically on asphalt and cedar shake roofs. This indicates potential attic intrusion.
4. Tree Damage
Visible branches on the roof or debris impact can signal tree damage. Minor impacts might still dislodge shingles or cause tears.
5. Moss and Ice Damage
Moss growth can lead to hidden structural damage in shingles. Ice dams, forming at roof edges, can force water under shingles, leading to leaks.
6. Mechanical Damage
Be aware that gutter cleaning or walking on the roof can inadvertently cause damage. Look for signs like granule loss or changes in shingle appearance.
