With 72 damaging-wind events recorded across Livingston County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Campus.
Many Campus homes were built around 1938, so roofs here are commonly 88+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Livingston County has seen 12 tornadoes in the past 11 years. Severe storms can strip shingles, puncture decking, and cause leaks that need fast, professional repair.
Livingston County has logged 24 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 3.0 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Cold IL winters mean snow and ice build up at the eaves of Campus roofs, forming ice dams that force water back under the shingles and stress the structure.
| Season | What it means for your roof |
|---|---|
| Spring | Inspect for winter damage — ice-dam leaks, loose flashing, and shingles cracked by freeze-thaw. |
| Summer | Best window for repairs and full replacements; warm, dry weather lets sealant and shingles bond properly. |
| Fall | Clear gutters and schedule a pre-winter inspection so small issues don't become ice-dam leaks. |
| Winter | Watch for ice dams and interior leaks; emergency repairs and tarping only — full work waits for a thaw. |
