The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in multiple ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are effective tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
