How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, notably 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 now can reduce future repair expenses.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in multiple ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are useful tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
