After the storm — check your roof fast.
When heavy rain and strong winds hit Florida, your roof takes the brunt of the damage. That’s why post storm roof inspection should be immediate. Waiting even a few days can allow water intrusion, hidden leaks, and structural damage to escalate, turning a manageable repair into a costly replacement.
Why Fast Roof Inspections Matter
Florida storms are unpredictable. What looks like a small issue — a few missing shingles or loose flashing — can quickly lead to attic leaks, insulation damage, and even mold growth inside your home. The faster you schedule a roof inspection, the faster you can prevent long-term issues and protect your family’s safety.
Post-Storm Roof Damage Checklist
When the skies clear, here are the most common signs of storm-related roof damage:
- Missing or lifted shingles exposing the underlayment.
- Exposed underlayment or felt, which weakens waterproofing.
- Dented or creased metal panels from flying debris.
- Loose or damaged flashing around chimneys, skylights, or vents.
- Gutter damage — sagging, separation, or leaks.
- Water intrusion — stains on ceilings, damp insulation, or visible attic leaks.
If you spot any of these, it’s time to call a licensed roofing company before the damage spreads.
Safety First
Never climb onto your roof after a storm. Wet surfaces, loose debris, and hidden structural weaknesses can make it dangerous. Instead:
- Stay on the ground and visually inspect from a safe distance.
- Watch for downed power lines or broken tree limbs.
- Document all visible damage with photos and videos for your insurance claim.
