How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, especially 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 early can help you avoid costly repairs.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage 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 adequate roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
