Weathered the Storm? Spot Roof Damage Fast
Written By: Mike RoofDate Published: 02/06/2020
Florida storms can wreak havoc on your roof, and knowing what to look for is crucial. While asphalt shingles are built to withstand a lot, hurricanes and tornadoes can push them to their limits.
Most Jacksonville, Florida homes rely on asphalt shingles - durable layers of asphalt and fiberglass, topped with protective granules. These granules are your roof's first line of defense against Florida's relentless sun.
After a sever storm, it's vital to inspect your roof for damage that could lead to roof leaks and costly roof repairs. Here's what to look for:
Missing Shingles: Obvious gaps are a red flag.
Bruised Shingles: Dents or creases indicate impact damage.
Granule Loss: Excess granules in gutters may mean your shingles are deteriorating.
Ceiling Leaks: Brown spots and/or dampness signal water intrusion.
Damaged Vents/Gutters: Dents or bends in metal components.
