When a storm rolls through Wise County, the damage is not always obvious from the ground. A prompt post-storm inspection finds hidden problems and documents them while the cause is clear. Here is what to do after severe weather hits your roof.
Steps to Take After a Storm
Acting quickly protects both your home and any insurance claim you may need to file.
Look for Obvious Signs
From the ground, check for missing shingles, dented gutters, and granules washed into downspouts. These hint at damage a closer look will confirm.
Schedule a Professional Inspection
A trained inspector safely checks the roof surface, flashing, and seals for hail bruising and wind lifting — the kind of hidden damage our spring storm guide describes.

Can hail damage a roof that still looks fine? Yes. Hail bruises shingles and knocks off protective granules in ways that are hard to see from the ground.
