Wind Damage Roof Inspection in Alpharetta, GA

Inspector Roofing Alpharetta Wind Damage Inspection

Wind damage in Alpharetta is rarely as obvious as a missing shingle. Inspector Roofing and Restoration specializes in identifying "unsealed" tabs and hidden creases that compromise your roof's water-shedding cycle.

The Invisible Crease: When a shingle tab is lifted by wind, it creates a horizontal fracture in the fiberglass mat. Even if it settles back down, the structural integrity is gone, leading to leaks during the next Alpharetta storm.

Signs of Wind Failure We Document

Our forensic process targets the specific failure points caused by high-velocity wind events in North Fulton:

1. Broken Thermal Seals

We perform manual "lift tests" to identify shingles that have lost their factory sealant bond. These "chattering" shingles are no longer wind-resistant and must be addressed.

2. Horizontal Mat Fractures

Using macro-photography, we document the "hinge-line" crease where the shingle was forced upward. This indicates a permanent failure of the shingle's internal structure.

3. Edge & Rake Uplift

Wind targets the perimeter. We inspect drip edges and rake flashing for signs of displacement or "tenting" where wind has attempted to peel the system back.

4. Wind-Driven Scouring

Debris driven by high winds across the roof surface can scour granules and damage ridge caps. We document these impact paths for a complete damage assessment.

Inspector Roofing Protocols™ for Wind Analysis

We provide the technical proof required for insurance carriers or long-term repair planning:

  • Systematic Mechanical Testing: Determining if the sealant bond is intact across multiple slopes.
  • Forensic Mapping: Creating a digital map of all creased or compromised shingles for the adjuster.
  • Code-Aware Evaluation: Assessing if shingle brittleness prevents a surgical repair, requiring a full system restoration per GA code.
Don't wait for a wind-driven leak to appear on your ceiling.
