Storm Damage Roof Inspection: Hillsboro Alert
Hillsboro homeowners: Inspect your roof safely after the storm. Check for leaks, missing shingles, and gutter issues with this essential checklist.
Hillsboro Weather Alert
Heavy storms are hitting Washington County. Is your roof ready for 40+ mph winds and driving rain?

The "Lift and Leak" Risk
Wind gusts lift aging shingles, forcing rain underneath. Moss acts like a sponge, increasing the risk of leaks.

1. Check Ceilings First
Before going outside, look for dark spots, yellow rings, or dampness on your upper-floor ceilings.

2. The Granule Test
Check downspout splash blocks. Piles of grit mean your shingles are shedding protection and wearing out.

3. Scan from the Ground
Use binoculars to spot missing shingles or "zipper" patterns. Never climb a wet roof yourself.

4. Watch the Gutters
