What Counts as Storm Damage to a Roof in Orangevale?
Storm damage to a roof in Orangevale is any harm that weather does to the roof. GAF says storm damage includes any weather-related event that weakens a roof. The cause may be wind, rain or a falling limb. Some harm shows right away, and some stays hidden. A roofer can check for both.
- Wind. High winds can lift or loosen shingles and expose the protective layers beneath them.
- Wind-driven rain. Wind-driven rain can push moisture beneath shingles and find its way into small gaps.
- Flying debris. Flying debris such as tree branches can crack or dent shingles on impact.
- Hidden harm. The smallest openings can let water in long before a stain shows indoors.
What Does Storm Damage Look Like?
Look for these signs from the ground and from inside the house.
- On the roof. Missing, cracked or lifted pieces, and bent metal at vents or edges.
- At the gutters. Dents, sagging sections or gutters pulled from the wall.
- Inside the house. New stains, drips or damp spots on ceilings and walls.
- In the yard. Granules, pieces of roofing or debris near the house.
Use binoculars and stay on the ground. Photograph anything you find at your Orangevale home.
