How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly 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 in advance can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
