Storm Roof Check After Wind, Hail, or Heavy Rain
After Gulf Coast weather, homeowners often notice missing shingles, granules, stains, flashing gaps, or leaks before they know what caused them. Alderwise keeps the next step simple: start with the address, describe the concern, and request a local roof inspection.
What to look for after weather moves through
Common post-storm concerns include lifted or missing shingles, roof granules in gutters, displaced flashing, cracked vent boots, ceiling stains, and leaks that appear after heavy rain. These are reasons to request inspection, not proof of a specific finding.
Why address-first matters
Storm impact can vary block by block. An address-first request helps Alderwise connect the homeowner concern to the service area and local weather context before scheduling or routing follow-up.
Avoid guessing from the ground
Homeowners should not climb onto a roof after a storm. Document visible interior or ground-level symptoms, note the date of weather, and request a professional inspection if the concern is active or worsening.
Hail concerns
Use a hail damage roof check page when hail, granule loss, bruising, or soft-metal impacts are part of the homeowner concern.
Wind concerns
Use a wind damage roof check page when shingles, edges, vents, or flashing appear shifted after high wind.
Rain concerns
Use a roof leak after rain page when water appears during or soon after heavy rain.

Common questions
How soon should I request a roof inspection after a storm?
If you see active leaking, missing shingles, ceiling stains, or displaced roof materials, request an inspection promptly. For non-urgent concerns, document what you see and start with the address-first flow.
Does a storm roof check prove storm damage?
No. The page helps homeowners request an inspection after weather exposure. It does not guarantee a finding, determine cause, or make insurance conclusions.
What details should I include?
Include the address, date of the storm if known, visible symptoms, whether water is active, and any safe photos from ground level or inside the home.
