5-warning-signs-high-winds-damaged-your-roof

As a homeowner, protecting your roof from damage is essential to maintaining the safety and value of your home. High winds from storms or gusty weather can cause significant harm to your roof. Recognizing the early signs of wind-related roof damage is crucial to preventing further issues.

In this blog post, we’ll highight the key signs of wind damage, so you can act quickly and protect your home.

1. Missing Granules

One of the first signs of wind damage is the loss of granules from your shingles. Granules help protect your roof from UV rays and weather damage.

If you notice these small granules in your yard after a storm, it could indicate your shingles have been damaged, leaving your roof vulnerable to further wear and tear.

2. Curling Shingles

Curling shingles are another common sign of wind damage. When high winds put pressure on your roof, it can cause the edges of your shingles to curl upward, which weakens the roof’s overall integrity.

Curling shingles also increase the risk of water infiltration, leading to potential leaks and water damage.

3. Missing Shingles

Missing shingles are a clear indication that your roof has sustained damage during a windstorm. If you find shingles in your yard or driveway, it’s crucial to replace them quickly to prevent water from entering your home.

Leaving your roof exposed to the elements can lead to more significant damage over time, including leaks and structural issues.

4. Crooked Chimney

A crooked chimney is a sign that strong winds may have caused the chimney to shift or misalign. Wind damage can also affect the flashing around your chimney, which protects your home from water intrusion.

If you notice your chimney is no longer straight, it’s important to inspect both the chimney and the surrounding flashing for potential issues.

5. Incoming Water

Water leaks inside your home are a sure sign that your roof has been compromised. Look for ceiling stains, discoloration, or visible drips, which indicate that water is getting through your roof.

This could be the result of wind damage, and it’s important to act quickly to prevent further damage or mold growth.

Conclusion

Wind damage to your roof can lead to serious issues, if left unchecked. If you notice any of the alarming signs discussed above, it’s important to address the problem quickly.

Pinnacle did a fantastic job! The sales professional was courteous and not pushy. The install team did a great job of advising me on what they were going to do before doing it and advising me once complete. They did an great job with daily and end of project cleanup.
