The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even minor hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can reduce future repair expenses.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in various ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
