The short answer
Wind damage on a Carbondale roof shows up as missing shingles, shingles that are lifted with broken seal strips, and creased tabs that will fail in the next storm. All three are claimable, and the creases are the ones homeowners miss.
The Route 13 corridor and the open farmland around Carbondale, Marion and Carterville give straight-line wind a long, unobstructed run. When a gust front comes through, the windward slope and the ridge take the beating - wind gets under a tab, breaks the factory seal strip, folds it back, and drops it.
Homeowners count the shingles in the yard. Adjusters count the creases. A creased shingle has a fracture line through the mat and a broken seal, and even though it is still on the roof it is no longer waterproof or wind-resistant. Missing that distinction is the most common reason a wind claim gets underpaid.
We document all three categories, note the wind direction the damage pattern indicates, and cross-check the ridge, hip and rake edges where wind damage concentrates.
