Storm damage roofing help in Atlanta
Strong storms, heavy rain, and wind are a regular part of life in Atlanta. After a storm, roof damage isn't always immediately obvious — but even small issues can worsen quickly if left unaddressed.
Storm-related roof damage often includes:
- Lifted or missing shingles
- Hail impact damage
- Compromised flashing
- Fallen branches or debris
- Sudden interior leaks
If a storm recently passed and something doesn't look right, it's best to have the roof checked.
Signs your roof may have storm damage
Some damage is easy to spot, while other signs are subtle. Common warning signs include:
- Granules collecting in gutters
- New water stains on ceilings or walls
- Shingles lying in the yard
- Visible roof irregularities
- Damp attic insulation
Even if the roof looks intact from the ground, underlying damage may still exist.
What to do after a storm
If you suspect storm damage:
- Take photos or videos from the ground if safe
- Move valuables away from any leaks
- Avoid climbing on the roof
- Call or submit the form as soon as possible
Early documentation can also help if insurance is involved.
Emergency and temporary roof protection
In cases of active leaks or severe damage, temporary measures such as tarping may be recommended to prevent further water intrusion until repairs can be made.
If you're dealing with storm damage or a sudden leak, calling is usually the fastest way to get help.
Frequently asked questions about storm damage roofing
What types of storms cause roof damage in Atlanta?
High winds, heavy rain, hail, and falling debris are common causes of storm-related roof damage in the Atlanta area.
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
It's best to schedule an inspection as soon as possible after a storm, even if damage isn't obvious. Some issues aren't visible from the ground.

Yes. Storm damage may weaken shingles or flashing without causing immediate leaks. Problems often appear during the next rainfall.
What should I do if a tree or branch falls on my roof?
If it's safe, document the damage with photos and avoid climbing onto the roof. Call for professional help to assess and prevent further damage.

Not necessarily. Many storm-related issues can be repaired if caught early. An inspection helps determine the best option.
Should I call immediately for storm-related roof issues?
If there's active leaking, visible damage, or debris on the roof, calling sooner helps prevent additional damage.
