When winter storms hit Fayetteville and surrounding areas, they can leave behind more than just a snowy landscape. Snowstorms and freezing rain can wreak havoc on your roof, causing damage that might not be obvious at first glance. But ignoring these issues can lead to bigger problems, like leaks, mold, or structural damage. Knowing how to spot roof damage early can save you a lot of trouble—and money.
Start by stepping back and looking at your roof from the ground. Do you see any missing or curled shingles? Are there spots that look darker or damp? These could be signs that the storm knocked some shingles loose or caused moisture to seep in. Next, check your gutters and downspouts for granules. If you see a buildup, it could mean your shingles are wearing out. Inside your home, watch for water stains or drips on the ceiling, which can indicate a leak.
