How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, notably 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 early can help you avoid costly repairs.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
