Storm Signal · High Winds
Wind damage is rarely obvious
from the ground.
Lifted shingles, loosened flashing, detached components, and edge damage are easy to miss without a proper roof-level inspection.
Overview
Wind doesn't have to be extreme to damage a roof. Sustained gusts work the edges, ridges, and penetrations of the assembly — places that take the most stress and show the least visible damage. By the time water gets through, the underlying issue is often months old.
What it covers
01
Lifted Shingles
Wind breaks the seal between courses. The shingle may look intact but no longer protects the deck below.
02
Loosened Flashing
Flashing at penetrations, valleys, and transitions is the most common entry point for wind-driven water.
03
Detached Components
Ridge caps, hip caps, drip edge — wind targets the edges of the assembly.
04
Edge Damage
Eaves and rakes carry the most stress in a wind event. Damage there compromises the system.
