Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even minor 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 affects your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are practical tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
