The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, especially in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can reduce future repair expenses.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are effective tips to minimize hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
