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 small hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can reduce future repair expenses.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail can harm your roof in several ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
