Severe storm events can damage several exterior systems at once. In this Dix Hills inspection, the reported lightning event was not limited to a few shingles; chimney masonry, roofing, solar-related components and the gutter system all required attention.
What we documented on this roof.
1
Chimney brick damage associated with the reported lightning strike
2
Damaged asphalt shingles around affected roof areas
3
Damage involving solar equipment / solar-adjacent roof components
4
Gutter-system damage reported with the storm event
Recommended Action
Promptly evaluate and repair damaged roofing and chimney components, and have the solar and electrical systems evaluated by qualified professionals after a suspected lightning event. Damaged gutters and drainage components should also be corrected so water is directed away from the building.
