Roof Damage After a Hailstorm? Here's What To Check First

Hailstorms in Georgia can blow in quickly and leave behind more damage than you might expect. While the storm itself may only last a few minutes, the effects on your roof can linger. Not all damage is easy to spot, especially from the ground. If your home was recently hit by a hailstorm, here’s what to look for and what to do next.

Look for Signs of Damage Around the Property

Start by walking your property. If you see dents in gutters, downspouts, vehicles, garage doors, or siding—or if outdoor furniture or landscaping appears damaged—it’s very possible your roof took a hit too. These exterior clues often indicate hail large or fast enough to cause problems up top.

Check for Missing or Damaged Shingles

From a safe viewpoint, look for shingles that are missing, curled, cracked, or loose. Even if they appear intact, asphalt shingles can suffer bruising or granule loss from hail impact. These small issues can worsen over time and may eventually lead to leaks or more widespread damage.

Inspect Flashing, Vents, and Roof Penetrations

Vulnerable areas like chimneys, skylights, vents, and flashing are common points of entry for water after a storm. Hail can tear or displace these protective elements, and the damage is often not visible from the ground. This is one of many reasons why a professional inspection is essential after a major weather event.

Don’t Wait for a Leak

One of the biggest misconceptions about hail damage is that you’ll know there’s a problem because of a leak. In reality, hail can weaken roofing materials long before any signs of moisture appear inside. By the time water enters your home, the underlying damage may already be significant.

Call for a Professional Inspection

The safest and most accurate way to assess your roof after a storm is to schedule a professional inspection. At United Contracting & Roofing, our experienced team knows how to spot hail damage, even when it’s subtle.
