Turn to the Experts for Storm Damage
At Tosca Roofing, Inc, we're committed to helping customers after a storm hits your property. You can turn to us for a wide variety of repairs due to:
- Wind
- Powerful winds, whether hurricane-force at 74 mph or above or gale-force ranging from 39-54 mph, have the potential to cause visible damage to your home's roof. These strong winds can strip or damage shingles, exposing the underlayment, roof deck, or waterproofing material to the elements. In milder storms, sudden and forceful gusts of wind may lift and distort shingles. Shingles are typically installed with overlapping layers to create a watertight seal, and any lifting or curling can compromise this seal, leaving your roof susceptible to damage from wind-driven rain.
- Hailstorms
- although brief and seldom lasting beyond 15 minutes, hairstorms have the potential to cause dents or pockmarks in shingles and dislodge granules. This poses a concern as these granules play a vital role in shielding your roof from the elements. Furthermore, hail damage can mar the visual appeal of your roof's surface.
- Standing Water
- Roofs without proper drainage can experience problems with standing water after big rainstorms, especially in uneven areas. Clogged gutters can also cause backed-up rainwater under your shingles, which allows moisture to potentially penetrate the underlayment or the roof deck.
- Debris
- Depending on how severe the storm was, debris can end up on the top of your roof, everything from small branches to larger tree limbs. Large objects can dent or impact the surface of the shingle, leaving that area of the roof vulnerable to moisture intrusion, whereas lighter branches may not be as much of a problem.

Schedule and Conduct a Roof Inspection
Safety comes first. Rely on the trusted, professional roofing contractors at Tosca Roofing to schedule an inspection and help you with a damage assessment. We will know how to safely look for roof damage.
- Roof: Conduct a visual inspection of your roof by walking along the boundaries of your home and observing any apparent storm damage. You may also get a clear view of certain roof sections from one of your windows. Maintain a record of observations and consider taking photographs, as these could prove valuable for insurance claims in the future. Make sure to document any visible indications of storm damage, such as dented, torn, curled, or missing shingles.
- Gutters, Vents, and Windows:
Inspect your home's gutters and roofing fixtures for any dents, including gable vents and other extensions. Check windows for cracks, broken glass, loose weather-stripping, and damaged screens.
- Exterior Inspection:
Take a stroll around the outside of your house to inspect for fallen tree branches, any missing fence posts, or any harm to lawn furnishings and other adornments. Ensure to examine flat surfaces like patios and decks for hail damage.
- Attic and Ceilings: Check these sections for signs of leaks and water stains. Even if your roof looks intact from the outside, it could have hidden leaks caused by wind or hail that may result in more serious issues down the line. Inspect your ceilings, light fixtures, and attic for any water leaks and stains. Utilize a flashlight to illuminate darker spaces.
Don't compromise on the longevity and appearance of your roof system.
