How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, especially in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even minor hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can save you thousands.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
