The Storm’s Gone. Now What?

Your yard’s a mess, the gutters are rattling, and your neighbor just had a tree crash through their garage. You look up at your roof and wonder… “Is it okay? Should I be worried?”

That’s the silent stress Georgia homeowners face after every storm. The skies clear — but your anxiety doesn’t.

Let’s take a deep breath. Now let’s walk you through exactly what storms really do to your roof, what you should do immediately after, and how Bravo Company Roofing helps turn uncertainty into peace of mind — without the stress, sales pressure, or sticker shock.

We’ll give you answers, tools, and an action plan. Because after the storm… comes the calm — if you know what to do.

The four Ways Georgia Storms Hit Hard (and Quietly Break Your Roof)

Storm damage doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it whispers — until the leaks start. Let’s break it down. These threats hit most Georgia roofs in four ways:

1. Wind: The Invisible Roof Thief

High-speed gusts sneak under shingles and pry them loose. Sometimes, they curl them just enough to let water in — without you noticing. Like a lifted lid on a Tupperware container: it looks closed, but the leak is happening anyway.

Before: “It looks okay from the ground.”
After: “Turns out water was seeping in all month. Thank goodness we caught it early.”

2. Hail: The Roof’s Silent Bruiser

Hailstones hit hard and leave microscopic bruises. These weaken the shingles’ protective granules — their armor — shortening the roof’s life. Think of it like a dented car hood: still functions, but the damage is weakening the integrity.

Before: “We didn’t see anything broken.”
After: “Our inspection showed dozens of small hail hits. Insurance covered it — and now we’re secure again.”

3. Water & Flash Flooding: The Creep

Rain forces itself under lifted shingles or clogged flashing. Water invades silently, soaking wood, drywall, insulation. Water doesn’t just damage roofs — it grows mold and stress.

Before: “Just a damp spot in the attic.”
After: “Turned out the underlayment was soaked. We dried it, fixed it, and now the attic’s fresh and safe.”

4. Trees & Debris: The Blunt Force

Limbs snap and slam into the roof, damaging shingles, vents, and sometimes the decking beneath. Even smaller branches can cause slow leaks by creating entry points.

Before: “It was just a few branches.”
After: “We found torn flashing around the chimney — just in time.”

What to Do Right After the Storm (Before Damage Multiplies)

Here’s the deal: You don’t need to panic. But you do need to move fast. Storm damage accelerates like a cracked windshield — small at first, then suddenly it’s everywhere. Here’s your post-storm playbook:

1. Stay Safe, Stay Grounded

Don’t climb the roof. If you see exposed wires, standing water, or ceiling leaks — call professionals immediately.

2. Do a Ground-Level Walkaround

Look for:

  • Shingles in the yard
  • Bent or cracked gutters
  • Soffits or vents that look off
  • Water spots on ceilings or walls
