Missing shingles after a storm? Dit is wie je moet bellen
High winds during a storm can lift, crack, or tear shingles completely off a roof, leaving the felt underlayment or bare deck exposed. Even a few missing shingles create an entry point for rainwater that can soak the roof deck, insulation, and ceiling below within a single rainstorm. The longer exposed sections remain unpatched, the greater the risk of mold growth in the attic sheathing and structural rot of the roof decking. A roofer can tarp the damaged area for immediate protection, then replace missing shingles with matching material, re-seal the flashing, and inspect the surrounding field for hidden wind damage such as lifted nail heads or cracked tabs that may fail in the next storm.
