What Tornado Damage Looks Like on a Roof

Tornado damage is not subtle. Your roof may be completely gone. Or partially gone. Or it may look intact but have embedded debris that punctured the membrane.

First, missing sections. A tornado can peel o entire slopes of shingles. The underlayment may be exposed. The decking may be damaged. If the decking is gone, you can see into your attic.

This is a severe emergency.

Second, embedded debris. Branches, boards, even pieces of metal can be driven into your roof. These punctures may not be visible from the ground. You need a professional inspection.

Every puncture is a leak point.

Third, structural damage. Tornado winds can lift your roof deck, damage trusses, and shift the structure. If your roof is sagging or out of alignment, the damage may be structural. That requires a structural engineer. We can recommend one.

Fourth, granule loss from wind-driven rain. Even if your roof looks intact, wind-driven rain can strip granules and force water under shingles. You may not see leaks immediately. But they will appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my insurance cover tornado damage to my roof?

Yes, almost always. Tornadoes are a covered peril under standard homeowners policies. You pay your deductible. The insurance pays the rest up to your policy limits.

How long does it take to repair a tornado-damaged roof?

For a full replacement, one to two days once materials arrive. But after a major tornado, there may be supply shortages. Local suppliers run out of shingles. We have relationships with multiple suppliers to get materials faster.

Should I wait for an adjuster before tarping my roof?

No. Tarp immediately to prevent further damage. Take photos before and after tarping. Keep receipts. Insurance will reimburse reasonable tarping costs.

Great question - the answer depends on your specific situation. Call us at (931) 666-1469 for a free consultation. We give straight answers with no sales pressure. We serve all of Clarksville, TN and surrounding areas.

A: That is a severe emergency. Call us immediately. We will tarp the structure or install temporary roofing. We will also help you nd temporary housing if needed.

Can a tornado-damaged roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Sometimes. If the damage is limited to one slope and the rest of the roof is in good condition, we can repair. But if the roof was already old, replacement is usually better.

How do I avoid storm chasers after a tornado?

Do not hire anyone who knocks on your door. Do not sign a contingency agreement. Call local roofers with established reputations. Check Google reviews. Verify they have a local address. We meet all those criteria.
