Checking whether your Siloam Springs roof was in it

Tap Use my location to check the ground you're standing on against every hail and wind report in the county file. Hail falls in narrow swaths, so one street can be chewed up while the next one over came through clean.

Storm damage you can see from the ground

Working out what's up there is your roofer's job. Look, note what seems off, and take your time. The four-year hail record for Benton County sets out which storms are already documented.

Shingles stripped off along the ridge line

Wind gets under the edges first and peels tabs back from there. A bare stretch near the peak or at a corner of the roof is the plainest storm damage there is to see from the yard.

A shingle tab out on the lawn

One tab on the grass means the wind found its way under the course it came from. The rest of that row is often loose as well, even while it's still lying flat.

Ridge cap or flashing sitting crooked

The cap along the peak and the metal collar around a chimney or a wall joint are fastened at their edges, and edges are what wind works on. A line gone wavy or lifted is where water gets in months later.

A patch that looks darker than the rest

Where tabs have blown off you're seeing underlayment or bare deck instead of shingle. From below it reads as a dark rectangle in a slope that is otherwise even.

Gutter pulled loose or a downspout off its strap

A hard storm drags gutters away from the fascia and knocks downspouts off their straps. Water then unloads against the wall and the foundation instead of running clear of the house.

A stain or a gap of light at the eave

Standing in the yard, look up under the overhang for a brown ring, a sag, or daylight showing at the soffit. That means water has already been in past the edge of the roof.

What to do in the first days after a storm

These four are yours to do, in order. They come before anybody is standing on the roof.

1

Photograph what you can see

Walk the yard and shoot whatever looks wrong from the ground, gutters and debris included; your phone dates each one. Do it before the first cleanup, when half of it leaves the lawn.

2

Note the day the storm hit

Put down the day the storm came over and roughly what time it started. Everything else you write down or photograph hangs off that one line.

3

Cover whatever is open to the sky

If rain is getting in, get it covered before you do anything else. Keep the receipts for whatever that takes, because they belong with the photographs when you talk to your insurer.

4

Have the storm damage written up

Your roofer walks the roof and writes down what the weather did to it. Then the decision is yours, made off a document instead of a memory of the storm.

Storm questions that come up here

These come up after a storm here more than anything. The answers hold whether you file or not.

Storm damage can sit up there for years with nothing showing inside the house. Hail bruising and creased tabs don't leak on day one; they are weak spots that the next freeze, the next hot spell and the next storm keep opening a little further. Once a ceiling finally stains, water has usually been into the decking for a while and the job is bigger than it would have been. That is the argument for looking early instead of waiting for proof, and what a roof inspection covers sets out what somebody looks at up there.
A phone camera is plenty, and what's in the frame matters far more than the resolution. Start in the yard: shingle pieces, branches, the gutters, dents in the downspouts or the mailbox, anything that wasn't like that last week. Then shoot the house from each side, standing back far enough to get a whole slope in one frame, so a close-up you took can be placed on the roof later. Keep both feet on the ground the whole time, since a roof is never more dangerous than it is wet.
No, covering an active leak helps you, and a policy generally expects a homeowner to stop further damage once the loss has happened. Photograph what's underneath before you cover it, so the part that is now hidden is still on record, and hang on to the receipt. What's worth waiting on is permanent work before anyone has written the damage up, because that erases the evidence along with the leak. Roof repair after the write-up is a different thing entirely.
Not necessarily, and only your own roof can answer that. Two roofs a few doors apart can end up in completely different shape after the same weather, and plenty that read as fine from below turn out to have been hit hard. Who does those neighboring roofs matters, too. An outfit that arrived with the storm is usually gone before the next one, and workmanship terms are worth only as much as the company standing behind them. And hail damage covers how a stone marks a shingle without opening it up.
Get it looked at first. The filing decision is better made once you know what the storm did, and plenty of it comes out as a repair costing less than the deductible, which is not worth spending a claim on. Your roofer writes up what the weather did and dates it, and if you do file, that write-up is what you and your adjuster both work from. The claim keeps your name on it and moves at your pace. How a Siloam Springs claim gets built walks through the rest.
