These are some possible signs that you may have roof damage and should have your roof inspected.

• Your home was in a storm.
• Small leaks or damp spots in your attic or ceilings.
• Metal flashing around the chimney or vents pulling away.
• Shingle loose or missing.
• Granules from shingles in your gutters or visible in the downspout discharge.
• Neighbors are having their roofs checked and/or replaced.
• Your roof is 10+ years old and has not been recently inspected.
• Shingles in your yard, either from your roof or your neighbor’s roof.
• Metal missing from your edges.
• Gutters are pulled down or off, or are no longer level along your roofline.
• Curling shingles.
• Visible bald spots (different coloration) on the roof due to loss of granules.
• Discoloration or dark patches. These can indicate water absorption or damage.
• Dents or dimples on vents, flashing, or metal area. Often this can be from hail.
• Dripping or moisture in attic insulation or rafters. Musty smells in your attic can be a clue before water damage is visible.

If you suspect damage, document anything unusual before you clean up. These photos can help with insurance claims. Most reputable roofing companies offer free storm damage inspections. Don’t delay as even subtle hail or wind damage can void your roof warranty or cause leaks down the line.
