Whether it’s winter or summer, don’t underestimate the damage strong winds can do to your roof. Wind speeds of just 50 mph can be enough to destroy portions of your roof and knock trees and limbs down onto it, which brings its own set of issues.
Strong winds usually take aim at the edges of your roof. Shingles are susceptible to lifting or being blown off the roof completely, which means the roof underlayment will be exposed. At that point, it can easily be penetrated by water, as well as random windblown debris. The result will be a leaking roof, which can affect both the interior and exterior of your property.
Shingles may look like they’re fine to the untrained eye, but a few wind gusts that are strong enough can lift them up, thus breaking the seal that keeps them attached. Once that happens, your roof may start to leak. Loose household debris tossed around by the wind – tree branches, lawn furniture, toys and even trash – can also be quite damaging if they land on your roof.
Look for these signs of damage after severe storms pass through:
