How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, especially in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even minor hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can help you avoid costly repairs.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in multiple ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are useful tips to minimize hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
