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 seemingly insignificant hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can help you avoid costly repairs.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in multiple ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use 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.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
