Storm damage is not always obvious. After hailstorms, high winds, or heavy rain, a roof may look intact from the ground while hidden damage continues to spread beneath the surface. In 2026, roof inspections have become a critical step in preventing small storm-related issues from turning into full roof failures.
Modern inspections allow roofing professionals to identify damage caused by hail impact, lifted shingles, compromised flashing, and moisture intrusion long before leaks appear inside the home. This is especially important in areas like Owensboro, where storms frequently stress roofing systems throughout the year.
Drone inspections now allow a full and safe evaluation of storm-affected roofs, including steep or hard-to-reach areas. Thermal imaging helps detect trapped moisture caused by wind-driven rain, while digital roof assessments document damage accurately for repair planning.
For homeowners, this means faster answers after a storm, clearer repair recommendations, and fewer unexpected costs. Early detection allows repairs to be completed before damage spreads to decking, insulation, or interior ceilings.
