Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in various ways, depending 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, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even tiny hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Taking these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
