How Do I Know If My Roof Has Storm Damage? A Pro Tip Every Homeowner Should Know

Описание: After a heavy storm rolls through, most people glance up at their roof and breathe a sigh of relief if everything looks okay. No shingles on the lawn? No visible holes or debris? Then the roof must be fine, right?

Not necessarily.

In our latest video, “How Do I Know If My Roof Has Storm Damage? Pro Tip,” we show you exactly why roof damage isn’t always as obvious as you think. At Aastro Roofing Company, we’ve inspected thousands of roofs throughout South Florida — from Boca Raton to Fort Lauderdale — and we’ve seen how storm damage can remain hidden long after the skies clear. Even the most experienced roofing professionals can miss it if they’re not trained to look closely.

Storm damage can take many forms, and not all of them are immediately visible from the ground. In fact, some of the most serious problems are the ones you can’t see without a trained eye, proper inspection techniques, and the right equipment.

Here are a few common examples of hidden storm damage we uncover regularly:

Lifted shingles: A strong wind gust can lift and break the seal between shingles without tearing them off completely. To the untrained eye, they may look normal — but they're now vulnerable to water intrusion during the next rain.

Creased or fractured shingles: These often occur along the shingle edge after wind uplift. They tend to crack over time, especially in our hot South Florida sun.

Granule loss: Hail or flying debris can knock protective granules off the surface of asphalt shingles, leaving them exposed to UV rays and premature deterioration. It’s not always visible from below.

Damaged flashing: Storms can loosen or bend metal flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes. Even a small gap can let water in.

Roof deck movement: In more severe cases, uplift from wind pressure can shift decking or create separation between roof layers — this type of damage almost always goes undetected without a professional inspection.

If any of these issues go unnoticed, they can allow water to slowly infiltrate your roofing system, causing leaks, mold growth, wood rot, and even structural damage over time. Unfortunately, homeowners often don’t realize there’s a problem until they notice stains on their ceiling — and by that point, it’s already too late.

That’s why we created this video. We want property owners — homeowners, condo boards, HOAs, property managers, and commercial building supervisors — to understand that post-storm roof inspections are not optional in Florida. They’re essential.

At Aastro Roofing Company, we provide free storm damage roof inspections across South Florida.
