Hail storms

Can cause significant damage to your roof, even though they may only last for a short period of time. When hailstones hit your roof, they can leave dents or pockmarks in the shingles, which can result in the loss of shingle granules. These granules are crucial in protecting your roof against rain and sun damage, so it’s important to keep an eye out for any signs of hail damage. Additionally, hail damage can also negatively impact the appearance of your roof.

Wind damage

This can be a significant concern for homeowners, especially during severe storms. Hurricane-force winds, with speeds of 74 mph or higher, or gale-force winds, between 39-54 mph, can cause visible damage to your roof. High winds can remove or tear shingles, exposing the underlayment, roof deck, or waterproofing material to the elements. Sharp gusts of wind during less severe storms can also lift and curl shingles, breaking the water-tight seal and leaving your roof vulnerable to wind-driven rain.

Standing water

Can also cause problems for your roof if proper drainage is not in place, especially in areas with uneven surfaces. Clogged gutters can also cause backed-up rainwater to flow under your shingles, potentially leading to moisture intrusion in the underlayment or roof deck. This is why it’s essential to maintain proper roof drainage and ensure that your gutters are clear of debris.

Debris

Large objects can dent or impact the surface of your shingles, leaving that area of the roof vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Branches or other light debris may not cause as much of a problem, but it’s still important to have any debris removed promptly to prevent any potential damage to your roof.
