“Should a Roof to Leak In Hard Rain and Heavy Wind Storms”
What is wind driven rain?
Wind-driven rain is a sudden and temporary entry of rain. snow, sleet or ice pushed into the building by wind.T he water is pushed into the building without causing any exterior damage.
Can wind driven rain make roofs leak?
Your roof is designed to shed water downward, not from the side. Wind Can wind driven rain make roofs leak? Wind driven rain at the perfect angle can create leaks your roofing system isn’t designed to prevent. You most likely have a leak caused by wind driven rain if your roof does not leak in every rain storm.
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.

Great company, competitive pricing, and went ABOVE and beyond. We had a property for sale that needed a roof due to the age and insurance and we were on a very short time schedule in order to sell the home. They fit us in even around the … More unpredictable weather and got the job done. They did extra trips, worked weekends, and hand delivered things to the county to ensure we can close on the sale of our home on time. The roof looks great and comes with a warranty which not all companies offer. They do, because they can trust they are doing their job right and feel confident to back it up.

Following a massive hailstorm that totally destroyed my roof, I hired Gold Key based on their BBB rating and the fact that the company had been in business since 1975. Longevity matters in a market where roofers pop up overnight. Their … More original estimate exceeded what the insurance company was willing to pay, but Gold Key did the job for the insurance estimate plus my $1,000 deductible. The roofing work passed the county inspection with flying colors. Separately, Gold Key paid for a wind mitigation inspection by an independent company, and that report could potentially save me money on my homeowners insurance. I understand that this is not a common practice among roofers, and it would have cost me $105 had I commissioned the wind mitigation inspection myself. All in all, a good experience.

We have a pretty complicated roof with may different shingled pitched sections and a flat section. It looks great and was brought up to code.

Gold Key has been the silver lining in a nightmare experience to get a new roof. Adam came out quickly after my phone call and went through all options for the roof, explained the process and timeline, and was always available for questions … More when I had them. Their office was timely in paperwork and always picked up the phone when I called. When it came close to the time to get the roof done, I got a phone call to set up dumpster delivery and all of my questions were answered. On roof day, I couldn’t believe how quickly the workers got it done!! Not only were they fast, but the cleanup was very well-done and while I did find some nails here and there (I was told 50,000 are used so it’s impossible to get them all!), they left no trash behind and were respectful of my property.
Since the roof has been done my insurance company and mortgage company have been a nightmare to deal with and Gold Key has been SUPER supportive in getting whatever extra documents I’ve needed. I would absolutely recommend them for not only their work but their customer service. 5 stars. -

Thanks Guys

After speaking to the "production manager" (who's part of the family ownership) - I explained in detail my roofing needs and what I was looking for.... he mentioned that they would have to send somebody out to take a look... … More I offered my address and stated they could come anytime and survey it even if my family and I weren't home. I then received a phone call back 1.5 - 2 weeks later from someone else that seemed more knowledgeable and while he was quite nice - none of my needs or roofing status was shared and I needed to re-explain the entire situation - and then he mentioned that they didn't even provide the service I was looking for a quote on.
If you're looking for a company that's polite and responsive - I would go elsewhere - as if this is how they treat you when you're trying to give them business - I'd be terrified to see how they support their product/service after a commitment is made.
