How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in various ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
