How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in multiple ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are practical tips to reduce hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
