Wind Driven Rain Roof Leaks

Wind – The Unusual Cause of Roof Leakage

Roof leaks are common after heavy rainfall and storms. It is a big cause of concern for homeowners, as it not only damages roofs but can be damaging to vents and walls as well. So, when a person observes roof leakage they rush to call roof contractors to stop more damage. But it is very important to understand that roof leakage is not always as damaging. Let’s try to understand it in detail.

There can be different reasons for roof leaks. Usually missing shingles and blocked drain pipes allow water to stay on the roof for a longer time. The water seeps in and finds some crackers and you experience Roof leakage. But sometimes it’s not the serious situation as it seems. The angle of the rain can lead to roof leakage, which is not as damaging.

To understand this, you need to understand the construction and structure of the roof. The roof has shingles as a protective layer and the roof is designed to drain the water which pours vertically. It means when rain falls on the roof, shingles protect the roof, and water is collected in the drainage system and it leaves the roof through a drainage pipe. But sometimes, rain is wind driven. You might have experienced this rain which falls on an angle. Instead of vertical fall, due to wind, it falls horizontally. In this situation, it hits those areas which are not the usual target of rainwater. The roof is not designed for this type of rain, as it’s not very common. So, the rainwater reaches below the shingles and to that part of the roof which is prone to leakage. Sometimes the angle is slightly horizontal and you see a wet spot, but sometimes the angle of rainfall is so perfect that the roof starts leaking.

But how will you judge if the leakage is serious or just rain driven? The simple solution is to observe if it leaks during every rain or if it’s very rare. If you experience leakage after every rain, it’s good to call a roofing contractor and let him inspect your roof. They will do a professional inspection and check if there is any damage to the roof structure and fix the issue before it becomes serious. However, if you observe leakage rarely, it can be due to wind-driven rain and there might be nothing to worry about.

The Team at Gold Key Roofing was very professional and helpful from start to finish of my re-roofing project. I had a lot of issues with American Integrity Insurance. At first, American Integrity denied my claim, Gold Key got involved & American Integrity approved the claim. When the roof was complete, American Integrity the closed the case and refuse to pay the balance. My numerous phone calls and emails to the adjuster went unanswered. Gold Key came to the rescue again. I am very happy and satisfied with the service they provided and my roof is absolutely beautiful.

Gold Key Roofing did a great job on my roof. Jeff and Jessica are really good dealing with the insurance companies too. I highly recommend them.

Chris BarfieldOrlando, Florida

Highly recommend this family owned company. They were a pleasure to work with and responsive when I needed updates on the status of the job and insurance claim. I am pleased with the overall reroof and some extra carpentry work needed as part of the job. Would certainly work with them again and refer to others.

I have decided that not enough people in this world today actually stop and thank the people who have helped them through their lives. So thank you very much for building Karen and my lovely home in Oak Lynn Estates. I hope that you can use this letter for references purposes with future potential clients, so I will go on to say that through our construction process you were always highly professional, courteous, and respectful of Karen and me even though we continually added various features to the home design and the many changes we had.

I’am a claim examiner for an insurance company and I had the pleasure of dealing with Alexis at Gold Key Roofing AKA (claims@goldkeyroofing) Lately I find myself dealing with more contractors yelling at me to release their money. That wasn’t the case with Alexis. She was sweet. Kind, and funny all while still talking business. This Roofing company is lucky to have such a gem!
