Roof damaged after storm in Pasadena
Start with a safe check
Storm damage can be visible from the ground or show up later as moisture inside the home. Avoid climbing onto the roof or using a ladder to inspect it. Note safe-to-observe signs, then use the Roof Repair service path for qualified help.
What storm damage may mean
Wind, hail, or falling debris can damage roofing materials, flashing, or drainage areas. A problem may be obvious, such as loose material or a visible leak, or hidden until water reaches an attic, ceiling, or wall. Only a professional inspection can determine the cause and extent of the damage.
Signs you can check safely
From the ground, look for visible changes such as displaced roofing material, debris, or water coming from the roof edge. Indoors, check for new stains, damp drywall, dripping water, or moisture in a safely accessible area. Do not enter an unsafe attic or crawlspace, dismantle roofing or HVAC equipment, or touch wet electrical fixtures.
When to contact a professional
Contact a roofing professional when you see storm-related roof changes, find new interior moisture, or cannot tell whether the roof is safe. Act promptly if water is entering, a ceiling is sagging, or damage is spreading. Keep clear of unsafe areas and do not attempt a roof inspection or repair yourself.
What to do before hiring
Record the date of the storm and take photos only from safe locations, such as the ground or inside the home. Tell the roofer where you noticed damage or moisture and ask whether the inspection includes the visible roof areas, flashing, and drainage points. If the storm was part of a presidentially declared disaster, FEMA Individual Assistance may include financial help for qualifying uninsured home-repair or replacement losses under program rules.
