Storm Damage
Storm damages to roofs are regular occurrence in areas with adverse weather conditions. In areas where strong winds hit, damages usually occur to shingle roofs. These damages occur in different ways, and a lot of individuals might not spot them right away. Below are the different forms of storm damages to a roof.
• Strong Winds On Shingles: Shingles are very strong materials, which help to keep the roof in place by protecting it from adverse weather. During strong winds however, shingles are greatly affected, as they might get ripped, cracked or torn, thereby leaving the surface of the roof susceptible to rain, sun and wind.
• Nail Holes: Nail holes are usually stretched by moving shingles. Usually, the shingles on your roof are held down by nails. During the event of strong winds, in which these shingles are shifted from their normal position, these holes start to stretch. The holes created allows room for water to get into the roof, leading to leaks.
• Tree Damages: Trees can also cause storm damages on roof. It is common knowledge that trees sway greatly during storms and this allows overhanging branches to move violently around the roof. Sometimes, the shingle surfaces are scarped off leaving the roof bare to the elements. Some branches even fall off completely from the tree, puncturing the roof deck and leading to leaks.
• Edges: The edges of a roof are also vulnerable to storm damage. The wind can catch loose shingles on the edge of the roof, and cause them to bend. This will cause the shingle to peel into the roof, and cause further damage over time.
