How Wind Damage Affects Your Roof

How High Winds Damage Roofing Systems

Wind is one of the most common causes of roof damage in North Georgia. During severe thunderstorms, wind speeds can exceed 60 to 80 miles per hour, easily surpassing the rating of standard shingles. When wind gets beneath the edge of a shingle, it creates uplift pressure that can peel shingles back, crack them, or tear them off completely.

Wind damage can also loosen or dislodge ridge caps, damage flashing around chimneys and vents, and cause debris impact damage when tree branches or other objects contact the roof surface.

Why Wind Damage Is Not Always Obvious

One of the challenges with wind damage is that it is not always immediately visible from the ground. A shingle that has been lifted and reseated may look intact but has had its seal broken and is now far more susceptible to future wind events and water infiltration. Only a professional inspection can fully assess the extent of wind damage.
