Many home owners believe that the only wind damage their properties experience is damage they can see. However, wind can cause many problems with a roof that aren’t immediately visible.

The most obvious sign of the need for wind damage repair is shingles blown off due to the sheer force of the wind. However, damage can occur under shingles. Structural damage can decrease the life of a roof and make it prone to leaking and further damage.

The most serious wind damage might not be from pressure on the shingles. A storm creates a type of vacuum under a shingle that breaks its adhesive. Once shingle seals are broken, the shingles can completely tear off the roof.

During the next storm, the shingles flap, allowing water to get under them. The potential result is leaks, damage to a home’s interior and a lot of wind damage clean up. If it’s not possible to hand-seal these shingles, they must be replaced.

When shingles undergo de-lamination – a process in which the layers of material separate – it’s not possible to reseal. The entire roof might need replacement. A related problem is creasing, which occurs when a seal breaks and the flapping shingle folds back to form a crease.
