One obvious sign of storm damage is visible damage to the roof, such as missing or damaged shingles, dents, or punctures. These issues can lead to leaks and water intrusion, which can cause more extensive damage if not promptly addressed.

Water stains on ceilings and walls are another telltale sign. These stains often indicate that water has penetrated the building envelope, likely due to roof damage or compromised windows and doors. In some cases, these stains may not appear immediately, so conducting a thorough inspection after a storm is essential.

Damaged siding or exterior cladding is another common sign of storm damage. Severe wind and flying debris can cause cracks, dents, or holes in the siding, leaving the building vulnerable to water infiltration.

Additionally, check for broken or cracked windows and doors. Even minor damage to these elements can lead to significant issues, including water intrusion and security risks.

Finally, inspect the building's foundation for cracks or shifts, which can occur due to heavy rain or flooding. Addressing these signs of storm damage promptly can minimize the potential for secondary damage.
