Common Causes of Roof Damage

Strong Winds

If your area is prone to strong and harsh winds, shingles, nails, and other roofing materials may become loosened. When this occurs, even a moderate wind can lead to blown off shingles and cause significant and minor roof damage. Roof leak and missing shingles is a great sign that your roof may have gone through wind damage.

After a major windstorm, it’s important that you contact a reputable company like Maxwell Building, to check if there are any missing shingles or if they have been creased, loosened, torn, or destroyed by wind damage.

Hail and Snow

If your roof has been exposed to a major hailstorm, granules may become dislodged from the surface of the shingles. Your roof has now been compromised. These granules protect the shingles from the sun’s UV rays. It may be difficult to see the hail damage done to your roof.

There are ways you can detect actual damage to your roof without having to climb on top of your house physically. Check your gutters for dents and dings. If hail has damaged your gutters, chances are that there is hail damage to your roof. If you suspect that your roof has been subjected to damage you can’t see, call an expert for a professional assessment.

Falling Objects and Flying Debris

Falling objects such as birds, small animals and other objects from nearby buildings may cause minor roof damage. However, if these minor damages are not inspected and repaired immediately, they may end becoming major problems.

Huge damages occur when a major branch or the tree itself falls on the roof. Roof damage from falling branches can be avoided by pruning the tree and removing the ones that can snap due to strong winds.

Potential Risks of Roof Damage

A compromised roof is very dangerous for a number of reasons. Roof leaks are the common results of a compromised roof. A roof leak is risky because water may get into electrical lines and cause fires. The water can also cause discoloration of the ceiling, higher energy bills, growth of mold in the attic and a bad odor.

What’s worse is that roof leaks from roof damage can affect the structural integrity of the inner parts of the roof, making them cave in. This poses a great danger to both your family and other belongings in your home. To prevent all these risks and further damage to your roof, it’s crucial that you contact Maxwell Building Services for a free inspection today.
