Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old?
Midwest Hail Season Is Here — Protect Your Roof Before the Storm Hits
As the weather warms up and the snow melts away, many homeowners turn their attention to spring cleaning and home maintenance. One area that often gets overlooked? The roof. At Blue Storm Roofing, we believe spring is the perfect time for a professional roof inspection. In this blog, we’ll explain why it matters, what to expect, and how an inspection now can save you from major trouble down the road.
Hailstorms do not always come with warning signs, but the damage they leave behind can seriously impact your roof. While some signs are obvious, others are easy to miss until leaks or structural problems begin. At Blue Storm Roofing, we help homeowners identify and repair hail damage before it turns into something more serious and expensive.
Spring storms can roll in fast and leave behind more damage than you might think. Between heavy winds, pounding rain, and hail, your roof takes the brunt of the impact. At Blue Storm Construction, we help homeowners recognize the early signs of storm damage so they can act quickly and avoid costly repairs later. Not All Damage Is Easy to See After a storm passes, it’s easy to assume your roof is fine if nothing looks obviously wrong. But damage often hides beneath the surface. A few loose shingles or a small leak might not seem urgent, but left unchecked, they can lead to mold, wood rot, or structural issues down the line. Knowing what to look for is the first step in protecting your home. Signs Your Roof May Be Damaged 1. Shingle Granules Around Gutters or Downspouts Storms with hail or strong wind often knock off the protective granules from asphalt shingles. If you spot dark, sand-like material in your gutters, that’s a sign your shingles are wearing out faster than they should. 2. Dented or Soft Shingles Hail can leave behind small impact points that feel soft to the touch or look bruised. These areas are vulnerable and often lead to leaks later on. 3. Lifted or Missing Shingles High winds can peel shingles up or blow them off completely. Even one missing shingle is enough to let water into your home. 4. Damaged Flashing or Exposed Roof Components Flashing is installed around chimneys, vents, and valleys to keep water out. If it’s cracked, loose, or missing, those areas are at high risk for leaks. 5. Indoor Water Stains If you notice discoloration on your ceilings or walls after a storm, that’s a major sign water is coming through somewhere. Even small stains deserve immediate attention.
