How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in multiple ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even tiny hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are useful tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
