Storm Damage on My Roof. What Should I Do?

You may find roofing material in the yard or notice a new ceiling stain, or the roof may look normal from the ground while you are left wondering what happened.

Immediate Checklist: What to Do After a Storm
You do not need to climb onto the roof or diagnose the damage yourself. Start with what you can safely observe:
- Stay Off the Roof: Wet or damaged roofing can be unsafe. Look from the ground and from inside the property instead.
- Photograph What Changed: Take photos of roofing material on the ground, visible exterior damage, new ceiling stains, or interior water. Note when the problem started.
- Protect the Interior: Move belongings away from active drips where safe. If water is entering the home, see My Roof Is Leaking.
- Have the Roof Evaluated: Schedule an inspection to determine whether the storm created a localized problem, affected several areas, or left the roof intact.
