It's still hurricane season here in Hawaii, the most dangerous time of year if you happen to be a roof. Heavy winds can cause just as much damage as rain, with the ability to send roof shingles flying and wreak havoc on trees. Sometimes the extent of recent storm damage isn't immediately apparent from below, and climbing around on a roof is dangerous without the necessary training. To help you assess potential roof damages, Mililani's neighborhood roofers at On Top Roofing have put together this guide explaining where you should look:

  • Search For Water Damage: You can begin your inspection indoors by inspecting your attic for new leaks. You may also notice water damage on your ceiling. If water has dripped into places it shouldn't be, call your local roofers for a professional inspection and repair. Roof leaks are major causes of deck rot, mold, and mildew.
  • Examine Your Property For Debris: You may not be able to see your whole roof from below, but what you can see is what's fallen down. Have a look around your yard for pieces of shingle, fascia, wood, bricks, or anything else that used to be on top. You'll need to get this damage patched as soon as possible to prevent more costly problems.

  • Check For Unusual Signs: Are there any new dents or dings in your gutters, drain pipes, or other outdoor fixtures? Have any tree branches fallen onto your roof? Have a roof contractor from On Top Roofing assess the damage. For minor storms, the most you might need is some extra roof maintenance; for larger damages, you may require significant repairs.
