25 Roof Leak Warning Signs (With Photos) — When to Call a Roofer for Repair

Moment #6: Missing or lifted shingles after wind

Lifted shingles break the seal strip and allow wind-driven rain to push underneath. After storms, this is one of the most common ways leaks start near edges and valleys. Look for corners that don’t lie flat or missing pieces after strong wind. Water can run under multiple courses of shingles before showing indoors. Quick spot repairs can prevent bigger underlayment and decking damage.
