The Storm Damage Checklist
Once the storm has passed, it’s time to have your roof inspected in preparation for any potential storm damage roof repair it may need. Even if your eyes cannot spot any of the signs of possible damage previously listed, that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Contacting a professional can help you rest assured that your home is safe and undamaged after a storm.
We recommend home and business owners trust a Coastal Elite Roofing specialist who is trained in examining homes to perform these checks. Not only are they better prepared to find areas of weakness, but they also know the safety precautions necessary to do so without risk.

Types of Storm Damage to Look Out For
Even if the damage isn’t as significant as a tree branch in your attic, a storm can still leave your roof damaged in a way that’s important to keep an eye out for. Even minor storm damage can cause the weakening or warping of roofing material. This warping can leave your home open to future problems.
If your home has just weathered a harsh storm, look for these four common damage types. We strongly recommend having a skilled roofing professional from Coastal Elite Roofing perform any examinations on the roof rather than doing so yourself for safety reasons.
Storm Debris
When winds are strong enough, debris can begin to build up on your roof. Debris left after a storm can be as minimal as pine straw or as devastating as a tree. Though not as noticeable, the in-between can still cause damage if it’s not removed when another storm comes around.
Even if these branches are not big enough to crash into your home, the can still cause cosmetic and structural damages to your roofing material that will need addressing. If you notice tree branches or limbs are left on your roof after a storm, have them removed by an experienced roofing professional.
Wind
Wind damage can be as evident as torn shingles or as discreet as a loosened sealant. Above 45 mph, damage can occur, especially on older or thinner shingles. Even if your shingles are not torn off, strong winds can lift or curl them, damaging your home’s weatherproofing and waterproofing seal.
Hail
During hail, hailstones can vary in size. Even tiny pea-sized hailstones can still wreak havoc upon your roofing when combined with strong winds. Hail can leave pockmarks, which are both unsightly and can lead to compromised roofing material. It may also lead to cracks in some roofing material, which can compromise your weatherproofing.
Leaks & Standing Water
If you notice some odd stains on the inside roof of your home, this may be a sign of a potential leak. Water building up in gutters or flat areas of your roof after a storm isn’t that uncommon, but during a bad storm, this built-up water may seep into your home. Leaks can lead to the degradation of your building material’s structural integrity over time.
When combined with a broken weatherproof seal, moisture can build up beneath your roofing material. This moisture weakens the roof deck or underlayment and may even seep inside the home. If left untreated, you may risk damage to property, mildew growth, or even the collapse of your home.
