Roof flashing / missing or damaged shingles: What to Check and What to Do Next

Roof missing or damaged shingles hail damage: What to Check and What to Do Next

Roof missing or damaged shingles visible gap: What to Check and What to Do Next
A visible gap from a missing or badly damaged shingle can let wind-driven rain reach the roof layers, so document it and arrange a roofing inspection promptly. Stay on the ground or at a safe interior observation point: use binoculars or a camera from the ground to record the gap, then check ceilings and a safely reachable attic area for stains, dampness, daylight, sagging, or active dripping.

Roof Missing or Damaged Shingles Wind Damage: What to Check and What to Do Next
High winds can lift, crease, tear, or remove shingles, especially at roof edges, and can also disturb flashing, soffits, fascia, or penetrations. Wait until the storm and any warning have ended, then document the roof only from the ground and, if it is genuinely safe, look from an existing attic access point for daylight, wet insulation, water tracks, or a sagging ceiling.

Roof missing or damaged shingles: What to Check and What to Do Next
