WIND DAMAGE
DAMAGES AND HOW THEY OCCUR
- Asphalt Shingle Vulnerability: Asphalt shingle wind damage occurs during severe weather events when strong winds subject roofs to significant force.
- Manifestations of Damage: Wind can uplift, tear, or entirely detach asphalt shingles, with the lifting effect causing loosening or even expulsion of shingles. Wind-driven debris can exacerbate damage by puncturing shingles.
- Severity Factors: The extent of asphalt shingle wind damage is influenced by factors like wind speed, shingle quality, and the precision of roof installation, emphasizing the importance of timely inspections and repairs to maintain roof integrity
