What Wind Damage Can Look Like
If your Springfield property was hit by strong winds, it’s a good idea to have the roof checked even if you don’t see anything obvious.
Common signs of wind damage include:
- Missing or lifted shingles
- Damaged flashing
- Loose roofing materials
- Fallen trees or branches
- Damaged gutters
- Broken windows or doors
- Damage around vents, skylights, or other roof openings
- Debris on the roof
- Water coming inside after the storm
- Sections of the roof or exterior that look out of place
Wind damage isn’t always easy to spot. You might find shingles in the yard, but some damage can be tucked away where you can’t see it.
After a Windstorm: What to Check
A quick look around the property can help you spot potential problems, but don’t get on the roof yourself if it’s wet, unstable, or otherwise unsafe.
Check for:
Missing or Damaged Roofing
Look around the yard for shingles or roofing materials that may have blown away. From the ground, you may also notice areas that look lifted, uneven, or exposed.
Fallen Trees and Branches
Trees and large branches can damage roofs, siding, windows, vehicles, and other parts of the property. Even a branch that appears to have caused minor damage can leave the roof vulnerable to water.
Water Inside the Home
Check ceilings, walls, attics, and other areas for signs of moisture after the storm. A small leak can become a much bigger problem if water continues getting inside.
Damaged Exterior Areas
Don't forget gutters, siding, windows, doors, and other exterior components. Wind can affect more than just the roof.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home has wind damage?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, damaged flashing, fallen branches, debris, broken windows, damaged gutters, or signs of water getting inside. Some roof damage isn’t obvious from the ground, so an inspection can help identify problems after severe weather.
Can high winds damage a roof without causing a leak?
Yes. Wind can loosen shingles, flashing, vents, and other roofing components without immediately allowing water inside. Those areas can become more vulnerable during the next storm.
Should I inspect my roof after a severe storm?
It’s a good idea to have the roof checked after significant wind or storm activity, particularly if you notice missing materials, fallen trees, or other property damage. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself if there are safety concerns.
Can wind damage be covered by insurance?
Storm-related damage may be covered depending on your insurance policy and the circumstances of the loss. Photos, inspection notes, and other documentation can help when you’re going through the claims process.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
If a fallen tree has damaged the roof or structure, prioritize everyone’s safety and stay away from unstable areas. Once the immediate emergency has been handled, the property can be inspected to determine the extent of the roof and exterior damage.
