The recent weather system that swept across the Front Range was intense. Between the dangerously high winds and the incredibly dry conditions that heightened fire risks, it was a stressful event for many Colorado homeowners.
Now that the winds have died down, the immediate danger has passed. However, the potential for long-term damage to your home remains.
Impacted Areas
We are currently fielding calls and scheduling inspections throughout Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, Larimer, and Weld counties. If you live in these areas, your home was likely exposed to gusts capable of compromising your roofing system.
Wind Damage is Often Invisible from the Ground
It is a common misconception that if you don’t see shingles on your lawn, your roof is fine. Wind damage is often much more subtle but just as destructive.
High winds can lift shingles just enough to break the adhesive seal or crease them near the top. Once that seal is broken, your roof becomes vulnerable to leaks the next time we get rain or snow.
According to our guide on identifying wind damage, here are the critical signs to look for now that the storm is over:
-
Creased Shingles: Look for horizontal dark lines across the shingles; this indicates they flapped up in the wind and snapped back down, breaking their structure.
-
Granule Loss: Check your downspouts or driveway for excessive amounts of mineral granules (it looks like sand).
-
Loose or Missing Shingles: While obvious, these need immediate attention to prevent water infiltration.
-
Debris Impact: Branches or other flying debris may have punctured the roof deck.
