High winds can damage a roof without creating an immediate leak. On a recent project in the Bridgewater neighborhood of Southwest Fort Wayne, S L Construction Roofing found areas where shingles had been lost or displaced, leaving portions of the roofing system exposed.
This is a good example of why homeowners should have a roof checked after strong winds, especially when shingles or roofing debris are found in the yard.
Missing Shingles After Wind in Fort Wayne
Wind can lift shingles, loosen their seal, damage fasteners, or remove shingles completely. From the ground, the roof may still look mostly intact even when isolated sections have been compromised.
During this Bridgewater roof project, the damage included visible areas of missing shingles. A closer inspection allowed the affected sections to be identified so the homeowner could address the problem before additional exposure led to water intrusion.
Does Wind Damage Mean You Need a New Roof?
Not necessarily. Some wind-damaged roofs can be handled with a localized roof repair. The right recommendation depends on the extent of the damage, the condition and age of the existing shingles, and whether matching replacement materials are available.
That is why S L Construction Roofing starts with an inspection. We look at the actual condition of the roof and explain what we find before recommending repair or replacement.
