The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even minor hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can save you thousands.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail damages your roof in multiple ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
