How Can I Prevent Wind Damage to My Roof?
In many areas around Texas, it is common to experience wind gusts over 50 mph. It is important that your roof is strong from the inside out in order to prevent wind damage when a serious windstorm occurs. Make sure to call our representatives at Peak Roofing & Construction, your local Frisco roof repair experts, to take a look at your roof and make sure it is in top condition to weather any storm.
Why Does Damage Occur?
You may be wondering, “How do I know if there has been wind damage to my roof?” In many cases, roof disturbances typically start at the foundation. The majority of modern roofs are built with windstorms in mind, and they are able to properly direct the intensity of the wind from the roof down across the walls and into the ground. If your sheathing, shingles, or gables were not installed properly or are beginning to deteriorate with age, it is likely that your roof is not able to stand up to an intense storm.
How You Can Prevent Further Damage
If you find yourself speculating, “Is there wind damage to my roof?” give us a call to examine the underside of the sheathing from inside of your attic. Spending a little money now to reinforce your roof could end up saving you quite a bit in the future when compared to the cost of fixing extensive wind damage.
Signs of Wind Damage
If you have already been hit by a storm and find yourself wondering if there has been wind damage, there are a few ways you can check to see if your roof requires repairs. Common signs of wind damage include:
- Dented or missing shingles along your roof line
- Visible cracks in either tile, slate, or concrete shingles
- Noticeable denting on either your gutters
- Water leakage in your ceiling or roof
