Wind Damage

When you think of wind damaging your home, you usually think it takes a hurricane, tornado, sever thunderstorm, or an extreme winter storm to cause any major damage. But, wind doesn't have to be that strong to cause roof damage to your home. Gusts of wind at 75 to 85 miles per hour can easily raise poorly-sealed shingles off your home in a second, exposing your roof to possible rain and water damage.

With your roof being the last and first defense between you and your family and the elements, you want to be aware of the damage that wind can do to your home. During high-wind weather events, wind speeds fluctuate and sometimes even change directions. Consequently, roofing materials are lifted up, allowing debris to lodge between shingles and the underpinning of your roof. Over time, this process will cause your roof to deteriorate, and inevitably, you'll lose roofing material and notice it lying in and around your yard.
