How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, especially in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even small hail damage can turn 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 can harm your roof in several ways, depending on 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.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize 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.
- Plan for regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
