Since most sections of any roofing system are obscured from ground view. Subtle warning signs can go unnoticed. Missing or curling shingles, cracked or missing tiles, bulges or any other deformities can eventually lead to a roof leaking.

Since most sections of any roofing system are obscured from ground view. Subtle warning signs can go unnoticed. Missing or curling shingles, cracked or missing tiles, bulges or any other deformities can eventually lead to a roof leaking.

A shingled roof with problem sheathing could result in the up curling of shingles and pulling its fasteners off the sheathing. When shingles or tiles are no longer fastened, any heavy wind can remove them away from the roofing surface.

Possible cause: Shingles have reached the end of their useful life

 

The lightness of tiles and shingles make them susceptible to heavy wind environments. Most roofing systems are made of composite materials that are overlapped; wind eventually finds a way in to affect the system. For lighter framed roofing, wind intrusion may even affect the entire roof structure including the sheathing and decking.

Certainly curling shingles is a major warning sign to have a professional inspect a roof. If your roof is relatively new the problem could be poor installation. Missing tiles and shingles requires your immediate attention to avoid roof leaks and the problems they create.
