Understanding Wind Uplift
When high winds hit your roof, they don't just push against it—they create a suction effect known as wind uplift. If your shingles are old, improperly nailed, or lack a strong adhesive seal, this uplift can easily tear them off.
The Danger of Exposed Decking
Missing shingles leave your roof decking and underlayment exposed to the elements. This is an open invitation for water infiltration, which can rot the wood and lead to expensive interior damage.
What to Do When You Find Shingles in the Yard
If you find shingles on the ground, your roof has been compromised. A professional inspection is necessary to assess the extent of the damage and determine if a simple repair or a full replacement is needed.
