How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, particularly in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can develop 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 can harm your roof in multiple ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
