How does wind damage roofs
If after a storm you see shingles missing on your roof ,or shingles laying in your yard ,you have wind damage
If the wind blew tree limbs , or other forms of debris against your home you may have wind damage and possibly structural damage as well
If your experiencing roof leaks after the storm , it may be due to wind damage . Check your attic after a storm for water on your roof decking.
Strong winds can weaken or remove siding and soffit from your home
Shingles dont have to be missing for your roof to have received wind damage lifted, creased or broken shingles are damaged as well
Your roofs ridge cap is its first line of defense and also the first part likely to receive damage from wind.
How hail damages roofs
On average, it takes a 1″ or above diameter hail stone to cause damage to common asphalt shingles. When referring to hail sizes, here are a few common objects to compare:
- Pea = 1/4-inch in diameter
- Marble = 1/2-inch in diameter
- Dime or penny = 3/4-inch in diameter (hail the size of a penny or larger is considered severe)
- Nickel = 7/8-inch
- Quarter = 1 inch
- Golf Ball = 1½ inches
- Tennis Ball = 2½ inches
- Baseball = 2¾ inches
- Tea cup = 3 inches
- Softball = 4 inches
The severity of damage from the angle of impact should be consistent with other evidence of directionality that you see on various surfaces around the property.
Hail can hit all exposed surfaces, so evidence of the direction from which hail came should be apparent on a number of different types of surfaces, and not just on the roof. Evidence of hail damage may be visible on a number of items around the home. This is called collateral damage. Examining collateral damage may give you useful information.
Occasionally, hail will fall almost straight down, and, in these situations, damage on different slopes may be similar, and collateral damage may be limited.
