Sun

Shockingly, even good weather can damage your roof! The sun’s UV rays can weaken exposed bruised spots from other weather damage, making them brittle and causing them to deteriorate more rapidly.

Hail

Hail storms are short-lived, but leave damage in their wake: dents, pockmarks, and loose shingles. Hail also can shed or loosen granules that coat the surface of asphalt shingles. All these can lead to small fractures that allow water to seep through.

Debris

When heavy debris from storms land on your roof, they can dent the surface, leaving your roof vulnerable to moisture intrusion.

Standing Water

Clogged gutters and improper drainage can cause rainwater to back up under your shingles, which allows moisture to penetrate the underlayment or roof deck.

Wind

Hurricane-force winds are those that are 74 miles per hour or greater. Gale-force winds are between 39 and 54 miles per hour or greater. High winds tear off shingles, leaving the underlayment or roof deck exposed to the elements. Sudden, sharp gusts of wind from minor storms can lift and curl shingles. In “Tornado Alley,” tornadoes are the main cause of wind damage.
