Check Your Shingles<\/b><\/p>\n One of the easiest tips, recommended by<\/span> Elevated Roofing<\/span><\/a>, is to check the roof for ripped shingles. After a storm, a few ripped shingles are often the easiest things to spot, just by looking at your roof from the ground floor. They may not look like they\u2019ll cause a lot of hassle is left as they are, but it\u2019s important to get them repaired as soon as possible, especially during the wetter months. One of the biggest problems to result from loose or damaged shingles is a leak in the house. You may not even notice it until it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n Hailstone Dents<\/b><\/p>\n It can be difficult to spot hailstone dents, but if you\u2019ve recently had a bout of hailstones that you think could have caused damage, it\u2019s worth checking. If you can spot dents on the roof, take a look at the angles of the roof, where the roof meets the wall. You\u2019ll often be able to see dents in guttering too. If they\u2019re present there, they\u2019re likely to be present on the roof. If your roof slants, don\u2019t attempt to climb it and check it yourself.<\/span> Call a trustworthy professional<\/span><\/a> who can give you a quote for any damage at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n Inspect Your Attic<\/b><\/p>\n If you can\u2019t see any visible damage by looking at your roof from the outside, it\u2019s a good idea to get up into your attic and check for any leaks. If you spot a leak, it will easier to pinpoint where on the roof the damage is coming from and it\u2019s often easier to contain and resolve the damp once found in the attic. If you don\u2019t check or ignore the leaks found in the attic, it\u2019s inevitable the leak will eventually spread throughout the rest of the house. Leaks will often present themselves as<\/span> stains on the wall<\/span><\/a>, rather than actual water puddles.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mommyramblings.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/roof-damage.jpg\")
