Storm Season in Evansville: How to Spot Roof Damage After Hail and High Winds
Do you have roof damage from the Evansville Storms?
Evansville and the surrounding areas have been hit hard recently with a wave of severe weather — including heavy thunderstorms, damaging winds, and large hail that can wreak havoc on roofs. At Upright Construction, we’ve been out in the field inspecting storm damage, and we’re seeing a trend: many homeowners don’t realize they have damage until it’s too late.
Here’s what you need to know — and what to look for — after these recent storms.
1. Signs of Storm Damage on Your Roof
Even if your roof looks fine from the street, hail and wind can cause hidden damage. Watch for:
- Granule loss on shingles (looks like bald spots or dark patches)
- Cracked, bruised, or lifted shingles
- Dented gutters, flashing, or vents
- Leaks in your attic or ceiling discoloration
- Loose siding or blown-off shingles after high winds
Hailstones as small as a quarter can compromise the integrity of your roofing system — especially if your roof is over 10 years old.
2. Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Inspect
Insurance companies often set a time limit on how long you have to file a storm damage claim. If you wait too long and the damage worsens, it could lead to more costly repairs down the road — or even denied coverage.
At Upright Construction, we offer free storm damage inspections and can document any issues we find, helping you through the insurance process step-by-step.
