When Storms Hit Greenville: What to Do if Your Roof Is Damaged by Hail, Wind, or Fallen Trees
Here in Greenville and across the Upstate, storms can roll in fast - bringing heavy wind, pounding rain, and even hail. It only takes a few minutes for a strong storm to cause serious roof damage.
If you’ve had rough weather recently and you’re wondering whether your roof took a hit, this guide will walk you through what to look for, what to do next, and when it’s time to call a professional.
At Beemer KangaRoof®, we’ve helped homeowners across the Upstate recover from storm damage for four generations - with honesty, craftsmanship, and care.
1. Common Types of Storm Damage in Greenville
Not all storm damage looks the same. The three most common culprits are hail, wind, and fallen debris - and each can affect your roof differently.
Hail Damage
Hail can leave behind dents, bruises, or cracks in shingles that allow water to sneak in over time. You might notice:
Dark, circular spots on shingles
Granules in your gutters or downspouts
Dented flashing, vents, or gutters
Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground, so it’s smart to schedule a professional inspection after a severe storm.
Wind Damage
High winds can loosen shingles, lift flashing, or even pull entire sections of roofing away. Warning signs include:
Missing or curled shingles
Exposed roof decking
Detached gutters or loose soffits
Even if the roof looks mostly fine, wind can break the seal between shingles - making your roof vulnerable to leaks during the next rain.
Fallen Trees and Debris
Tree branches and flying debris can cause punctures, cracked shingles, or sagging roof areas. After a storm, look for:
Limbs resting on your roof
Cracked or drooping sections
Water stains on ceilings or attic beams
If you see damage or suspect it, don’t climb onto the roof - call Beemer KangaRoof®. We’ll take a safe look and let you know exactly what’s going on.
2. What to Do Right After a Storm
If a storm has just passed, here’s how to protect your home and make the next steps easier:
Stay safe first. Avoid walking under damaged limbs or unstable areas.
Document everything. Take clear photos of any visible damage.
Check indoors. Look for new water stains, leaks, or damp insulation.
Call a trusted local roofer - Beemer KangaRoof®. Have your roof inspected before contacting insurance - we can document storm damage properly for your claim.
Be very cautious of “storm chasers.” Out-of-town crews often move in after big storms. Stick with a local company that will be here long after the work is done.
3. Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Fix Storm Damage
Even minor damage can cause big headaches if left alone. Here’s why quick repairs matter:
Water intrusion. Damaged shingles and flashing let moisture into your home.
Mold and mildew. Damp insulation and framing create ideal conditions for mold growth.
Structural issues. Repeated leaks can weaken your decking and rafters.
Shorter roof life. Ignoring damage can cut years off your roof’s lifespan - and might even void your warranty.
A quick call to Beemer KangaRoof® after a storm can save you thousands in repairs later.
