How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, notably in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even small hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can save you thousands.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail affects your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
