Roofing Storm Damage

You may have been in your home or business during a hail storm at some point. It sounds like someone is dropping rocks on your roof. Essentially, that is pretty close to what is happening. Some hail can be the size of small boulders (softball sized). Hail can cause shingles to dent or even leave craters in the shingles. Combined with high winds, shingles can be ripped off a home. You may have seen shingles around your property after a heavy hail or wind storm. This type of damage can not go unchecked. Missing shingles can lead to water seeping into your roof or even your home. Do your property a favor, fix small issues before they become larger issues. Even without these obvious signs, you may have damage and not know it!

Most wind and hail damages cannot be seen from ground level and go undetected to the untrained eye. If your roof isn’t leaking right now, it may leak soon and you don’t want to take that risk.. If in doubt, call a Adair Remodeling and Construction.

Wind Damage – what to look for

Significant wind can cause shingles to blow off the roof deck. Missing shingles can lead to leaks and other interior damage. Other wind damage may not be easy to see, especially if the adhesive seal that provides a water-shedding surface is broken. Always be safe when checking for roof damage.

All manufacturers publish a wind warranty on their shingles; it is important to compare the wind coverage when making your shingle selection on a new roof. If the winds that caused the shingle damage were above the manufacturer’s wind coverage, you’ll need to file an insurance claim. If they were not, contact the shingle manufacturer to file a claim.

Potential signs of wind damage:

• Missing shingles.
• Thin horizontal lines where granules have been worn off about 1-2 inches beneath the shingle above; this could indicate that the shingle seal was broken and the shingle was flapping in the wind rubbing against the shingle above it. To be effective against the elements, shingles must be sealed to each other as one water tight roof deck.

Hail Damage

Usually hail is not something that you can miss—it is typically a widespread weather event in a neighborhood and not isolated to just one house on the block. Hail can bruise a shingle causing an indentation that may be hard to see but that can crack the shingle allowing water to infiltrate over time.

Potential signs of hail damage:

• Other collateral hail damage around the house; dents on cars or other items on your house or in your yard.
• A distinct pattern of small round-shaped divots on the edges of the shingles.
• Indentations in the shingle where granules are missing.
• A large pile of granules at the end of your downspout; a small amount is normal, especially on new shingles.
