What Is Wind Damage

Wind damage is caused by the uplift forces due to aerodynamic effects: ridges, windward roof corners, eves, rakes are the first places to suffer damage. Damage caused by wind is usually in the form of missing shingles and underlayement, as well as structural. Wind exerts positive and negative pressures as it flows over and around a structure. The areas of greatest uplift are at the windward corners and windward eves; these are the areas where the wind damage often initiates. Once this process starts, it has a domino effect: roofing material starts to loosen as uplift occurs and the materials start to break away and are torn from the structure. This exposes the structure to water infiltration, mold and interior damage as a result.

Having Your Roof Inspected By A Professional Is Necessary

Not all wind damage has this effect. When it comes to shingles, the affected areas can be broken seals, or tabs that have been bent over, which creates a crease in the shingle, which fractures the mat, and in- turn will eventually allow water to infiltrate into the structure. As previously mentioned, broken seals lead to a compromised roof that is susceptible to blow off from lighter winds. Once the system is altered from missing shingles, the system is compromised and water infiltrating the structure is inevitable. If you notice any of the things mentioned above. However, not all damage is recognizable from the ground. If you think your roof has been affected from a wind storm, give us a call today!
