Hidden Storm Damage: How Wind-Damaged Shingles Can Lead to Major Roof Failures
High winds don’t need to tear your roof off to cause real damage. After recent storms across the St. Louis area, we’ve seen dozens of homes with lifted shingles, broken seals, and wind-driven exposure that’s nearly invisible from the ground.
Left unaddressed, that damage can lead to:
Water leaks into your attic
Mold inside insulation and drywall
Higher energy bills
Premature roof failure
What to Look for After a Storm
Even if your shingles look intact, check for:
Shingles that flap or lift with light wind
Missing granules in gutters or near downspouts
Dark streaks or stains in your attic
Sagging ceiling spots inside your home
Any of these could be signs of wind-related roof damage.
Why Insurance Doesn’t Always Cover Late Repairs
Waiting too long to report damage can cost you. Insurance providers in Missouri expect homeowners to report potential storm damage within a short time frame - usually weeks, not months.
