Storm Damage: Roof Repair Action Plan
After severe weather, some roof damage is obvious and some is hidden. This guide helps you identify risk early and avoid avoidable escalation.
Problem explanation
Storm uplift can loosen components that later fail during normal rain, so post-storm checks are essential even when damage appears minor.
Common causes
- High winds lifting tiles and ridges.
- Debris impact from nearby trees.
- Driving rain exploiting existing weak points.
- Gutter overload causing edge ingress.
Warning signs
- Visible missing tiles or ridge sections.
- Granules or fragments in gutters.
- Fresh internal damp after the storm.
- Loose noises from roofline in wind.
Repair options
- Make-safe and temporary weatherproofing.
- Replacement of dislodged coverings.
- Flashing and ridge line reinstatement.
- Follow-up checks for hidden moisture ingress.
