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 develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in various 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, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Taking these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
