How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in several ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are useful tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
