What Should I Do If Shingles Blow Into My Yard After a Storm?

If shingles blow into your yard after a storm, your roof has missing pieces and the underlayment or decking may be exposed. Take photos of the shingles and the roof from the ground, check the attic and ceilings for water, and call a roofer to inspect and replace the missing shingles before the next rain.

Why Does It Matter?

Missing shingles leave the layers below exposed to sun and rain. Underlayment helps for a while, but it is not meant to be the roof surface.

What Should I Do Right Away?

• Photograph the shingles and the roof from the ground.
• Check the attic and ceilings for water.
• Stay off the roof.
• Call a roofer for an inspection.

Why Did My Shingles Blow Off?

Usually because they lost their seal with age or were not installed with care at the edges. See how wind lifts shingles.
