OSHA states that if a hurricane is a Category 3 or above, catastrophic damage can be expected due to winds that range from 111 mph to 157 mph or higher. With a Category 3 storm, you can expect uprooted trees and roofs being peeled from buildings.

Even a Category 1 hurricane can generate 95 mph winds and can cause severe damage to roofs.

Hurricanes can cause:

Wind can wreak havoc on a roof and can cause damage in several ways including:

• Blowing off the roof or shingles
• Throwing items onto your roof (like a heavy tree branch)
• Ripping mounted hardware out of your roof

When hurricanes produce strong winds, heavy rain and hail are close behind. Wind can cause damage to your roofing system and allow water to enter your home through vulnerable areas.

Avoid roof leaks, and get your roof inspected before a storm rolls through. Call your friends at ROOF UNITED today—470-622-7447!
