During a severe storm, your roof may suffer from serious damage. High winds can lift shingles and even cause them to become loose when strong enough. When this scenario happens, make sure to contact a local roof repair contractor immediately. Keep in mind that failing to address the issue promptly will only make it worse.
In this blog post, we’re debunking some of the most common misconceptions about wind damage on asphalt shingles.
It’s quite easy for a professional roofing contractor to see signs of wind damage on roofs, especially when inspected up close. Some of the most common signs of wind damage on asphalt roofing include poor adhesion, creases, tears, and bare areas. The creases and folds in the roof typically develop due to the wind pressure on the back and front sides of the shingles. This movement results in a more massive exposed surface area, forming creases and folds.
It’s easy for homeowners to mistaken poorly-adhered shingles as wind-damaged shingles. It would help to know that wind is not the sole cause of insufficient shingle adhesion. This problem can develop even without the presence of high winds. While wind can lift and loosen shingles, it doesn’t always cause poor shingle adhesion.
Normal wear and tear, aging, deterioration, cold weather application, manufacturing defects, thermal expansion and contraction, and adhesive contamination are the usual factors contributing to insufficient adhesion in shingles. It’s the same for incorrect roof installation.
