After heavy storms, start by checking for missing shingles, granule buildup near downspouts, and visible flashing damage around chimneys and roof penetrations.
Inside the property, look for fresh ceiling stains, attic moisture, or musty odors. These signs often indicate hidden leaks even when the roof looks intact from the street.
Take photos immediately for documentation, then schedule a professional inspection. Fast action can prevent minor storm damage from becoming a costly interior repair.
