What to Do After a Severe Storm
After hail, high winds, fallen debris, or visible damage, a professional inspection is the best way to know what’s actually happening on your roof.
Most storm damage starts at flashing, valleys, and the ridge — areas that are hard to assess safely from the ground or even a ladder. That’s why we document every inspection closely with smart glasses or drone footage, depending on the roof.
If you’re already seeing water inside your home, see our emergency roof repair page for immediate steps.
What Knoxville Storms Do to a Roof
Wind gets under shingles that were nailed with too few fasteners or at the wrong angle. Rain finds every gap in flashing that was never sealed correctly. Hail bruises shingles and accelerates granule loss — damage that may not show as a leak for months.
Many roofs we inspect after storms were already compromised before the storm hit. The storm revealed the problem, it did not create it. For active leaks after a storm, see our emergency roof repair in Knoxville.
What Documented Storm Damage Actually Looks Like
This is our own photograph from a real inspection, not a stock image. The chalk circles and markers are how damage gets counted before anything is written down — every marked point goes in the report with a photograph, so what you see and what an adjuster sees are the same thing.
It also shows why a ground-level look is not an inspection. The pipe boots, the ridge line and the condition of the shingle surface can only be assessed from the roof, and the difference between weathering and storm damage is decided up close.
Signs of Storm Damage on Your Roof
Missing or lifted shingles visible from the ground. Water stains on ceilings or walls after rain. Granules collecting in gutters after a storm. Flashing pulled away from chimneys or vents. Leaks that started immediately after a storm event.
If damage is not visible from the ground, it may still exist at the flashing, ridge, or valleys. A full inspection after every major storm is the only way to know.
What We Inspect After a Storm
We do not limit the inspection to visible damage. East Tennessee storms cause hidden failures that only show up in the next rain.
Shingles — lifted edges, missing fasteners, bruised surfaces from hail impact.
Ridge and hip caps — the first area to blow off in high wind.
Flashing — chimney flashing, kick-out flashing, and valley flashing pulled or bent. See chimney flashing repair and roof flashing repair.
Pipe boots — cracked or displaced by debris impact. See pipe boot replacement.
Decking — soft spots from moisture that entered during the storm.
Gutters and fascia — bent, detached, or clogged from debris.
Storm Damage vs Pre-Existing Problems
A storm rarely creates a problem on a correctly installed roof. It exposes weak points that were already there — loose shingles, caulk-only flashing, missing kick-out flashing, or improperly nailed ridge caps.
If your roof failed in a storm that neighbors survived, the installation is likely the real issue. See bad roof installation repair in Knoxville.
We document both storm damage and pre-existing conditions clearly — which matters for insurance claims.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
We document visible damage with photos and provide accurate material takeoffs. We work alongside your insurance adjuster and explain the scope clearly.
We do not promise claim approval — that is the carrier's decision. We make sure the documentation is honest, complete, and supports what the inspection actually shows.
For active leaks that cannot wait, see emergency roof repair.
Structural Integrity and Hidden Damage Policy
- 01If we find rotted decking, damaged framing, or moisture damage during the repair — we stop. We photograph it, explain what we found, and issue a written Change Order before continuing. New shingles go on after the damage underneath has been documented and addressed in writing.

Documentation, Schedule and Warranty After a Storm
After a storm the paperwork matters as much as the repair, because what is documented on day one is what an insurer has to work from.
What we provide. Photographs of every marked point, a written scope, and accurate material takeoffs. We work alongside your adjuster. MI Homesiding & Roofing is a licensed contractor, not a public insurance adjuster, so we document and scope the work rather than negotiate your claim or promise an outcome.
How long it takes. Most of our roofing projects run approximately one to two working days. That is the typical range, not a promise about your roof: size and pitch, how the property is accessed, how many tear-off layers come off, the roofing material, the condition of the decking once it is open, whether ventilation work is included, the weather window and anything hidden we find can all move it. The schedule goes in the written proposal, and we tell you the same day if something we find changes it.
What the warranty covers on work like this. Our workmanship warranty runs one year on a repair and five years on a replacement. A repair also cannot carry a manufacturer system warranty: those cover a complete installed system, not a section of one. Anyone offering decades of warranty on a single repair is describing something the manufacturer documents do not support.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Missing or lifted shingles, ceiling stains that appeared after a storm, granules in gutters, and flashing pulled away from chimneys or vents are the most common signs. Many failures are not visible from the ground — a full inspection is the only way to know.
Can storms damage a new roof?
Yes — especially if it was installed with too few fasteners, missing flashing, or caulk-only sealing. A storm reveals installation problems that normal weather did not expose.
Should I call for emergency repair after storm damage?
If water is actively entering your home, yes. See our emergency roof repair page for fast response.
Will insurance cover storm damage?
In many cases yes, depending on the condition of the roof before the storm and your policy terms. We document the damage accurately and work alongside your adjuster.
How quickly should storm damage be repaired?
As soon as possible. Every day of exposure allows water to spread into decking, insulation, and framing — increasing repair costs significantly.
Do you handle wind damage and hail damage separately?
We inspect for both in the same visit. Wind damage typically affects shingles, ridge caps, and flashing. Hail damage shows as bruised shingles and granule loss. See also wind damage roof repair in Knoxville.
