How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, especially in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in various ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
