    Wind Damage Roof Repair & Inspection

    High winds can lift shingles, damage flashing, and expose your roof to leaks. Learn how Trace Roofing inspects and repairs wind damage in the Rio Grande Valley.

    The Impact of High Winds

    Wind can loosen or remove roofing materials and expose the home to future leaks. Even if shingles aren't completely missing, lifted shingles break the sealant bond and can allow water infiltration during the next storm.

    Common Signs of Wind Damage

    • Missing or Lifted Shingles: Shingles that have been torn off or lifted up, breaking the protective seal.
    • Damaged or Missing Flashing: Metal pieces around chimneys, vents, and edges that have been bent or blown away.
    • Exposed Underlayment: The felt or synthetic layer beneath shingles being visible.
    • Debris Impact Marks: Scrapes or gouges from flying branches or debris hitting the roof.

    Why Wind Damage Often Gets Worse

    If left unaddressed, wind damage compromises the waterproofing of your roof. A broken sealant bond might not leak immediately, but wind-driven rain can easily get underneath and cause rot, mold, and interior damage over time.

    The Insurance Process for Wind Claims

    • Documenting the Storm Event: Establishing the date and severity of the windstorm.
    • Photos: Taking clear photos of missing shingles, lifted tabs, and other damage.
    • Filing Promptly: Submitting your claim before the insurance company's deadline expires.
