Damage like holes in the roof or broken windows is obvious to many homeowners. However, some damage that might seem like it isn’t an issue right now can cause severe problems in the future. Storm damage can manifest in several ways such as:
- Dented siding
- Damaged flashing
- Loose or missing shingles
- Cracked or dented shingles
- Dinged gutters
If unchecked, these damages can become more costly over time. Storms can cause immediate damage but also allow water to seep into your roof or walls and the interior of your home. Signs of water damage in your home include:
- Bubbling or peeling wallpaper
- Bubbling or discolored paint
- Water stains
- Mold and mildew
- Warping wood floors and walls or drywall
Water damage can compromise the structural integrity of your home if it’s not dealt with, and mold can make a home unhealthy.
