Wind damage in Broken Arrow. Flat terrain, no windbreak.
BA subdivisions were carved out of flat terrain with minimal natural windbreaks. Forest Ridge, Indian Springs, and Battle Creek sit exposed to full Oklahoma wind load from the southwest. Builder-grade shingles installed over a decade ago are losing their seal strip adhesion. A 65 mph gust does real damage to that combination.
Q: How do I get wind damage repaired in Broken Arrow?
Broken Arrow is the largest suburb in the metro and one of the most exposed. The BA Expressway corridor from the 71st to 101st Street crosses open terrain where southwest winds build speed before hitting the residential neighborhoods. The flat lot layouts of most BA subdivisions do not create the natural windbreaks that mature urban neighborhoods provide.
The shingles on most Forest Ridge and Indian Springs homes are now 11 to 21 years old. Seal strip adhesive on those shingles has been through hundreds of heat and cool cycles. In many cases, the seal strips have released from the course below, leaving the shingle effectively unanchored except for the nails. Those shingles do not require hurricane-force winds to lift. They go at 60 mph.
The inspection is free. If your BA neighborhood had a wind event above 50 mph, call us.
Aging adhesive, open terrain, southwest exposure.
Wind uplift on a shingle roof is not just about wind speed. It is about the pressure differential between the windward and leeward sides of the roof peak. In BA subdivisions where all the houses are similar height and the terrain is flat, each house sits in relatively unobstructed airflow. The southwest-facing roof planes see direct positive pressure. The northeast-facing planes see negative pressure pulling shingles up from the inside.
Ridge caps are particularly vulnerable in this environment. They sit at the peak where positive and negative pressure zones meet and concentrate uplift. A BA neighborhood that sees 70 mph gusts will typically show ridge cap failures across most of the affected blocks. We inspect every ridge line on every wind inspection.
Two-story homes in the eastern BA corridor near the Creek Turnpike also show upper-story specific damage because those roof planes sit above the boundary layer friction zone that slows wind near the ground. Upper-story shingle lift after a wind event is worth investigating even if the ground-level facades look undamaged.
If your BA home had shingles blow off or you see lifted tabs on the downwind side of your roof, call us before the next rain.
