Common Types of Roof Damage from Storms
Lancaster’s weather is a headache for homes and businesses.
Often, the most common types of storm-related roofing damage found in Lancaster County involve:
- Hail damage: Hailstones will dent or fracture shingles, dislodge flashing (those thin, metal sheets that direct water away from walls, chimneys, and similar), and puncture vulnerable roof areas. These issues often show up in open, unshielded spots.
- Wind damage: Strong winds can peel back or remove shingles entirely, breaking sealant strips and leaving roof decking open to water intrusion. This is even more of an issue for higher-elevation areas or neighborhoods with meager tree coverage.
- Water damage: Heavy rain or improper drainage can lead to ponding, roof leaks, and water stains in your home. Older homes frequently see water damage around chimneys, skylights, or older ventilation systems.
- Debris impact: Heavy winds can knock down tree branches and scatter debris, damaging shingles, gutters, and protective flashing. We often see this in tree-lined areas where overhanging limbs are a steady threat.
