The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can help you avoid costly repairs.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in several ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Taking these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
