The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even minor hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even small hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are useful tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
