Living on the Gulf Coast means dealing with major weather. Even after the storm passes, the roof may have damage that is easy to miss from the ground.
1. Missing or lifted shingles
High winds can break seals and expose the roof to water intrusion.
2. Granules in gutters
Heavy granule loss is a sign the roofing surface is wearing down.
3. Water stains inside
Ceiling or wall stains usually point to an active leak that should be checked quickly.
4. Soft spots or sagging
Any softness in the roof deck can indicate trapped moisture and structural weakening.
5. Debris impact
Branches, hail, and wind-blown debris can create punctures that later turn into leaks.
