Denison, Texas – September 17, 2026 -- Homeowners near Lake Texoma are being urged to inspect shingles, gutters, flashing, and attic spaces after severe storms to catch damage before it worsens, according to a HelloNation article featuring roofing expert Cody Slagle of Denison, Texas.

Shingles show the first signs of storm damage

Slagle notes that shingles are often the first area to reveal problems after heavy wind or hail. Cracked or lifted shingles can indicate the storm pushed them out of place, and scattered hail may mark several roof slopes at once.

Gutters reveal hidden impact points

Dents in gutters can show where hail struck with enough force to affect roofing materials. Sagging or loose gutters may signal that water overflowed during the storm, sending it back toward the roof instead of away from it. Slagle says strong North Texas winds frequently blow debris into gutter channels, making this a recurring inspection point.
