Homeowners often breathe a sigh of relief after a hurricane because their roof looks unscathed from the ground. Unfortunately, hurricane damage isn’t always obvious to the untrained eye. Even a category 1 storm can cause subtle damage that may lead to more serious problems later. Water intrusion, weakened structural elements, and compromised seals might not appear until the next major rainfall, so scheduling a roof assessment with Taylor’s Roofing immediately following a hurricane is vital.
Why Professional Assessment Matters
While assuming your roof weathered the storm just fine is tempting, assumptions don’t replace professional expertise. Our experienced Central Florida roofers know exactly where signs of trouble lurk and will inspect every vulnerable area, including:
- Shingles and underlayment
- Flashing and seal points around vents and chimneys
- Gutters
They’ll also check your attic for subtle signs of water penetration.
Beyond the Obvious
Hurricane damage is sneaky. A single lifted shingle might seem insignificant, but it could let water penetrate your roof’s defense system. Similarly, the wind pressure during a hurricane can break the seal on shingles without visibly moving them. These compromised areas are vulnerable during future storms and may void your manufacturer’s warranty if left unaddressed.
