Rochester storms can bring wind, hail, heavy rain and fallen branches. These things can affect your roof. Early detection and quick action are necessary to prevent further damage.
Look for Obvious Damage
Walk around your home and look for:
- Missing or lifted shingles
- Roofing material in your yard
- Debris such as branches on the roof
- Damaged or detached gutters and downspouts
Check Inside Your home
Even if the exterior looks okay, there could be early signs of a leak inside your home. Check your attic and your ceiling by looking for:
- Water stains or discoloration
- Damp insulation
- Musty smells or signs of mold
Inspect Flashing and Roof Features
From the ground, check for damage around the areas of skylights, chimneys and vents for loose or bent flashing. These can be common leak points after a storm.
Take Photos for Documentation
If you see damage, take photos. This will help with insurance claims.
