Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can reduce future repair expenses.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in multiple ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even tiny hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to reduce hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
