Fast winds can be damaging to the structural integrity of your property and especially the roof. As winds get stronger, they can cause serious wind damage such as ripping off the roof of your house. Usually, roofs on the houses are made to fight speed winds but if they get extremely strong, they may be damaging. Residents of storm-prone areas can suffer from it often. As a reputable wind damage restoration company, Advantage Remodeling and Roofing has experience in preventing wind damage, and we know how roofs are repaired during extreme windstorms.
Why Are Roofs Ripped Off During Storms?
Having a secure and stable roof is the best way to stay safe during a windstorm. However, there is never a guarantee. Having a strategy for wind damage prevention in mind is crucial for surviving a windstorm. Understanding storms and knowing how they may impact your house is the first step to prevent wind damage to your roof (see roof damage).
The cause is atmospheric pressure
One important factor is atmospheric pressure. If the wind gets inside your home, this will form a high-pressure scenario inside and it will push upwards towards your roof. Then you have a push from inside the house and pool from the top of the roof. This system is the reason why tiles and shingles get torn off or, in the worst case, your roof tears off from the rest of the house.
This is why it was believed that it is important to open your windows or doors during a heavy storm. But now we know that this assumption is wrong. Bracing your windows and doors helps maintain normal atmospheric pressure and prevents debris from smashing windows.
Annual inspections provide safety and confidence
We strongly believe that preventing is cheaper than repairing. Having your roof inspected for damage spots and weak areas annually is important to eliminate the wind damage risk. If you schedule a roof inspection at least once a year you can prevent wind damage to your roof when the storm comes. Precautionary state steps may take up some time and money but the reward is worth it - you are safe. A durable and reliable roof is already a big step in wind damage prevention.
If you have experienced wind damage, Advantage Remodeling and Roofing might help you with any concerns. Contact us today and our roofing professional will visit your property as soon as possible to perform an inspection and assess wind damage. Don't wait until the damage gets worse!
