How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, notably in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in several ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing 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.
