Home builders design roofs to withstand intense weather systems, including the powerful storms seen in Florida’s forecasts. Yet even the best-designed roofs can experience damage from powerful weather fronts, or extreme conditions. Over the course of time repeated exposure to harsh weather can sustain the erosion of a roof’s structural integrity.
While damage from both tropical storms and hurricanes are the most visible types of damage, local homeowners must be vigilant about these common types of roof damage.
High winds can crease, break, or dislodge shingles away from the roof completely. When high winds damage or remove shingles, this leaves your roof vulnerable to weather. The risk of significant damage due to the underlayment and decking being exposed, now becomes higher, as water may penetrate into the home.
Large pellets of hail can mar or bruise shingles and roofing material, which can leave your home vulnerable. Once moisture has seeped in, it can be very difficult to remove. Northeast Florida experiences hail pellets of larger size, and hail storms that can last longer than other areas of the country, increasing the risk of significant damage to your roof.
Tropical storms and hurricanes are common occurrences in Northeast Florida. Storms like these pose a high risk with trees or tree branches impact your roof causing serious damage. It is imperative to have the impact damage inspected and repaired as soon as possible, to prevent further roof damage.
