August in Sioux Falls often brings summer storms with high winds, heavy rain, and even hail. While these storms can pass quickly, they may leave behind hidden roof damage that homeowners don’t notice until it’s too late. The end of summer is the perfect time to check your roof for signs of storm damage and schedule repairs before fall and winter weather make problems worse.
Why Check for Roof Damage in August?
South Dakota weather can be unpredictable, and roofs in Sioux Falls face extreme conditions year-round. By late summer, shingles and flashing have already been exposed to months of heat, wind, and rain. Addressing storm damage in August gives you peace of mind heading into fall storms and the snow and ice of winter.
Storm Damage Roof Checklist
Here are key things every homeowner should look for after severe summer storms:
- Missing or Loose Shingles – Strong winds can lift and tear shingles, leaving your roof exposed.
- Hail Dents or Bruising – Hailstones can crack or bruise shingles, reducing their ability to protect your home.
- Granule Loss – Check gutters or downspouts for shingle granules, a sign your roof may be wearing down.
- Leaks in the Attic or Ceiling – Water stains are a warning sign of compromised shingles or flashing.
- Damaged Gutters or Flashing – Storm debris and high winds can dent gutters and loosen flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights.
