Having operated in the Fort Wayne area for many years, Red Wolf Roofing has had its fair share of roof repairs and roof replacements as a result of storm damage. It’s never easy for a homeowner, but we try to make the process as smooth as possible. It also puts us in a good position to advise on what to do when your home has been affected by extreme damage.

Here’s what to look out for after tornado damage:

Water Stains

While the bulk of tornado damage is likely to manifest on the outside of the home, you will be able to find some evidence of damage inside your home too. You’ll want to look for water stains on your ceiling, interior walls, and cupboards, as well as mold and any water seepage. If you notice any of these, chances are your roof was compromised during the storm.  

Check The Ground

Inspecting on the ground first will give you a good indication of what may potentially be awaiting you on top. Start by checking your gutters and downspouts, sidings, windowsills and window casings. Keep in mind that even minor damage on the ground may be a sign of greater damage to your roof.

Inspect The Roof

Of course you can’t full inspect damage to your roof without actually going up to check the roof out. Things to look out for include missing or compromised shingles, missing flashing, peeling sealant and water damage. We must caution you to make sure you do this in a safe way, and certainly only after you’re certain the extreme conditions have passed. If safety is a concern, it would be wise to get professional roofers in Fort Wayne in to assess the damage.
