Wind Damage
Wind damage occurs when strong winds lift, loosen, or remove roofing materials such as shingles, flashing, or metal panels. It can expose the underlying roof deck to moisture infiltration and further structural deterioration. In coastal regions like British Columbia, wind storms are common and can significantly impact roofing systems. Wind damage often starts at vulnerable edges such as ridges and eaves. Preventative installation techniques, including proper nailing patterns and high-quality materials, help reduce risk. Timely repairs are essential to prevent leaks and secondary damage.
