Early identification of any type of roofing problem is key in preventing it from causing further damage to your home. This is particularly important following the occurrence of severe weather events.
Perhaps, the easiest way to identify wind damage on your roof is by spotting broken or missing shingles. Strong winds can cause shingles to curl or detach, leaving you with an unsightly and less-protected roofing surface.
Roof flashing can likewise get bent or dislodged during severe weather. Look for flashing damage around your eaves or your chimney base. Ask a professional roofer to check along any flashing applications on roof valleys and ridges you may have, too.
Debris in your gutters may also be a sign of a wind-damaged roof. Detached roofing material – either shingle granules, broken shingles or even detached flashing – may end up blocking your gutters. This is why reliable roofing contractors, such as Renovation Team, will always inspect your gutters when they do a post-storm inspection of your roof.
A wind-damaged roof can turn into a leaky roof when left unchecked. Signs of water damage in and around your home may be indicative of roofing problems you did not promptly notice. Immediately after a severe weather event passes, prioritize getting your roof inspected to prevent moisture from getting retained not just on your roof, but throughout the rest of your home as well.
