How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, especially in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even minor hail damage can develop 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 various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering 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.
Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install 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.
- Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
