How to combat Roof Wind Damage?

 You probably know that strong winds are true enemies of your roof. Summer storms may result in hail, thunder, rain showers, and unbelievably strong winds. The damage they cause may be really severe and bring you unexpected costs. It is necessary to check all roof elements and be sure that your roof is not damaged after each interval of windy weather. DNB Construction has shared some important facts about the roof wind damage,

The speed of the wind influences the roof damage level:

• Statistics show that winds with a speed lower than 45 mph usually cause a ‘little mess’ to any type of roof. This means that their damage may hardly be disastrous. As a bad weather leftover, you may find your patio umbrella in the neighbor’s yard or garden chairs everywhere. These slow winds are not so harmful and you are almost safe that no property or landscape damage will happen while they are howling outside.
• Winds that are stronger than 45 mph are a more serious threat for both your roof and house elements. They can lift loose roof shingles and significantly damage the roof. There is some evidence that such winds broke off weak trees whose branches fell on the roof and caused inevitable roof damage. Sometimes, such winds bring costly reparations and unexpected expenses to your budget.
• In case the wind is stronger than 55 mph, you may count on greater damage. This means that shingles are torn off or trees are uprooted near the house to fall on the house. That is how falling trees can ruin roof elements and incur more costs for you.

• Entirely catastrophic roof damage is noticed when a wind’s speed surpasses 65 mph. At that moment, homeowners start to worry since the damage may be a real disaster for the house look. Widespread damage of garden trees flipped motor homes, broken structures in the yard and other truly severe things may happen to both residential and commercial buildings.
