Storm Damage Sign #1: Missing or Damaged Shingles
After a storm has passed, the first thing you should do is inspect your roof for any missing or damaged shingles. If there are any, they will need to be replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Storm Damage Sign #2: Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls
If you notice any water stains on your ceilings or walls, it’s a sign that your roof has been damaged and is leaking. These should be addressed immediately to prevent further water damage to your home. Water leaks never get better with time, but they can get a lot worse very quickly – especially if more rain, snow or hail comes on the heels of a major storm.
Storm Damage Sign #3: Leaks in Eaves, Gables, and Vents
Next, check eaves, gables and vents for any leaks. These are common areas for water to enter the home, so it’s important to check them after a storm (and regularly after that) and repair any damage as soon as possible.
- Eaves are the edges of the roof that extends beyond the side of the house.
- Gables are the triangular shaped area at the end of a sloped roof.
- Vents are openings in the roof that allow air to circulate.
Storm Damage Sign #4: Damaged Gutters and Downspouts
Another area to inspect for storm damage is your gutters and downspouts. If they are damaged, they will need to be repaired or replaced to prevent water from entering your home.
Storm Damage Sign #6: Warping or Buckling in Roofing Materials
If you notice any warping or buckling in your roofing materials, it’s a sign that your roof has been damaged and needs to be repaired.
Storm Damage Sign #7: Broken Trees Near Your Home
Finally, inspect trees near your home for any broken branches that may have fallen on your roof. If there are any, they will need to be removed and the damage repaired as soon as possible.
If you notice any of these storm damage signs, call the experts at SEI Roofing today. We will send someone out to inspect your roof right away.

Rehabilitating Roofs After Hail Damage
Hailstorms are hard to predict. Sometimes you see ice the size of baseballs, and other times, it’s a light flurry, barely larger than marble. Unfortunately for homeowners, both types of hailstorms can actually damage to your roof. Hail can strip granulation from your shingles making it easier for water to penetrate the outer layer of your roof, leading to mold growth, detached shingles, or leaks. Your gutters and siding can suffer a similar fate, with damage worsening if left unattended.
Some signs of hail damage include:
- Dents or divots in your metal flashing
- Granules in your guttersfrom damaged asphalt shingles
- Bruised, cracked, or pitted asphalt shingles
- Punctures or fractures in slate tile shingles
- Broken tiles
- Vent, chimney, or sunroof damage
What if Part of Your Roof is Missing?
If part of your roof is missing, it’s not safe for you to be inside your home. We recommend turning off the electricity and water to your home and waiting for help in a safe location.
