Common Signs of Storm Damage to Your Roof

Oregon’s unpredictable weather can take a toll on your roof. Strong winds, heavy rain, and hail can cause damage that isn’t always obvious at first glance. At CedarTech Roofing, we help homeowners in Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and Hillsboro identify storm-related roof issues before they lead to costly repairs. Regular inspections can catch small problems early, preventing more extensive damage.

Signs Your Roof May Have Storm Damage

After a storm, it’s essential to inspect your roof for damage. Here are some common warning signs:

  • Missing or Damaged Shingles – Strong winds can rip shingles off or cause them to lift, curl, or crack. A weakened roof is more susceptible to leaks and structural damage. If you notice shingles in your yard or see visible damage from the ground, your roof may need attention.
  • Dented or Cracked Flashing and Vents – Hail can leave dents in metal flashing, vents, and gutters. Damaged flashing around chimneys and vents can allow water to seep into your home, leading to mold and structural issues.
  • Granule Loss – Asphalt shingles have a protective layer of granules that shield them from the sun and weather. If you see excessive granules in your gutters or near your downspouts, your roof may have suffered hail damage. Granule loss weakens shingles and shortens the lifespan of your roof.
  • Water Stains and Leaks – Water stains on your ceiling or walls indicate a potential leak. Even if you don’t see visible holes, water can seep through damaged areas, leading to mold and wood rot over time. If left unaddressed, small leaks can cause extensive interior damage.
  • Debris on the Roof – Large branches or other debris on your roof can puncture shingles and create weak spots. Even small branches can scrape away protective layers, making your roof more vulnerable to leaks and future damage.
