How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to 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 now can reduce future repair expenses.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail affects your roof in various ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
