Protect your home and your wallet after a storm
Oklahoma City is no stranger to wild weather. From spring hailstorms to high winds and tornado threats, storms can do serious damage to your roof — and sometimes it’s not easy to spot until it’s too late.
If your home has recently been hit by a storm, don’t wait until a leak shows up. Use this simple roof damage checklist to spot issues early and protect your home.
✅ Step-by-Step Roof Inspection Checklist After a Storm
1. Look for Missing or Damaged Shingles
Walk around your home and check for:
- Shingles that are curled, cracked, or completely missing
- Discoloration or bald spots where granules are worn off
- Shingle pieces or nails in your yard
High winds or hail can tear off or damage shingles, leaving your roof exposed to water.
2. Check for Debris or Fallen Branches
If tree limbs or debris landed on your roof, there’s a good chance it caused impact damage — even if you can’t see it from the ground.
- Look for dents or punctures
- Be cautious of sagging or soft spots
- Check your gutters for heavy debris buildup
3. Inspect Gutters and Downspouts
Your gutters take a beating in a storm. Look for:
- Detached or bent gutters
- Granules collecting in gutters (a sign of shingle wear)
- Leaking seams or overflows
Clogged or broken gutters can cause water to back up onto your roof and leak into your home.
4. Examine Your Attic or Ceiling
Head inside and inspect the interior of your home for signs of water intrusion:
- Water stains on the ceiling or walls
- Damp insulation or wood in the attic
- Musty smells or mold growth
If you find these signs, you could have a hidden roof leak.
5. Document Everything
Take clear photos of all visible damage — even small issues. This documentation is helpful if you file an insurance claim or need to show proof of storm-related damage later.
6. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
Even if your roof looks okay, hidden damage is common. That’s why it’s smart to call a professional roofing company for a full inspection.
