How to Detect Wind Damage on Your Roof
By ESEQUIEL ALVAREZ CEO Falcon Roofing & Solar
High winds can cause significant damage to your roof, often leading to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Identifying wind damage early is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your home. Falcon Roofing provides you with a comprehensive guide to spotting wind damage on your roof.
Signs of Wind Damage
- Missing or Damaged Shingles: High winds can rip shingles off your roof or cause them to curl, crack, or become loose. Inspect your roof for any shingles that are missing, broken, or visibly damaged.
- Granule Loss: Check your gutters and downspouts for granules from your shingles. While some granule loss is normal over time, an excessive amount could indicate wind damage.
- Debris on the Roof: After a storm, inspect your roof for any debris, such as branches or leaves, that may have caused damage during high winds.
- Leaks and Water Damage: Wind damage can lead to roof leaks, which can cause water stains on your ceilings or walls. Inspect your attic for any signs of water infiltration.
- Loose or Dislodged Flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can become loose or dislodged in high winds, leading to potential leaks and water damage.
Steps to Take If You Detect Wind Damage
- Document the Damage: Take clear photos of any damage you find. This documentation will be helpful when filing an insurance claim.
