South Dakota weather can be unpredictable—and when hail, wind, or heavy rain strikes, your roof and siding take the brunt of it. Whether damage is obvious or subtle, fast action can prevent bigger problems down the road. Here’s what you need to know.
Common Types of Storm Damage
Hail Damage
Hail can bruise or crack shingles, dent metal roofing, and chip or break vinyl siding. The damage might not cause leaks right away—but it weakens your exterior, making future problems more likely.
Wind Damage
High winds can tear off shingles, lift flashing, or blow debris into siding and gutters. Wind can also loosen siding panels or create gaps where water can seep in.
Heavy Rain & Flash Flooding
If your roof or siding already has small cracks or loose areas, a heavy downpour can quickly lead to leaks, mold, or interior water damage.
What to Do After a Storm Hits
1. Inspect Your Property from the Ground
After the weather clears, walk around your home and look for missing shingles, cracked siding, dented gutters, or granules from asphalt shingles in your downspouts.
2. Schedule a Professional Inspection
Even if everything looks okay, there could be hidden damage. Radiant Roofing & Siding offers free storm inspections to catch problems early—before they get worse.
