The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even minor hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can help you avoid costly repairs.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in various ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
