The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, especially in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even small hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in multiple ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: 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:
- Use impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
