Signs of hail on your roof
- Dents or dark spots on shingles where the grit got knocked off. Gutters often fill with that grit after a storm.
- Dings in metal vents, flashing, gutters and downspouts. They are easy to see from the ground and help show hail hit the roof.
- Cracked or split shingles, or tabs that lifted in the wind that came with the storm.
- A new ceiling stain or wet attic wood. That is a leak, so open the leak page now.
