Your roof is essential to your home’s protection against harsh outdoor elements, including high winds. When strong enough, winds can cause significant damage to your roof and even cause shingles to fall off and leaks to occur. After an extreme weather event, it’s always a good idea to get a professional inspection from a reliable roofing contractor.
High winds are just one of the many reasons poor shingle adhesion and seal failure occur. Poor installation, normal aging, and thermal cycling can also cause these issues. It means that poor shingle adhesion and damage due to high winds are not the same.
Experienced contractors will always be able to spot wind damage on your roof. After a thorough inspection, they will know if you need to get a roof replacement or repair. Creases on the surface of shingles often indicate that they are wind-damaged. Sometimes, a strong wind uplift can break or tear off shingle sections.
You should get a roof inspection regularly and after extreme weather events. Sometimes, your roof may look fine from the ground, and you won’t know there is damage until water starts leaking inside your home. Keep in mind that many roofing issues can go unnoticed in the untrained eye. By scheduling an inspection, you can detect and address problems quickly before they cause significant damage to other parts of your home.
