Missing or lifted shingles
Strong winds can lift or remove shingles, exposing the roof to moisture and increasing the risk of leaks.
Loose flashing around chimneys and vents
High winds may loosen flashing around roof penetrations, allowing water to seep into vulnerable areas.
Damaged roof edges and ridge caps
Wind pressure can weaken roof edges and ridge caps, which are critical for protecting the structure from weather.
Debris impact from nearby trees
Branches and debris carried by strong winds can strike the roof surface and cause visible or hidden damage.
Water leaks after a wind storm
Wind damage often leads to leaks that allow water to enter the attic, ceilings, or interior walls.
Identifying these issues early can prevent more serious structural damage.
