How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can help you avoid costly repairs.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail can harm your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even small hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are useful tips to minimize hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
