Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to 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 early can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing 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 lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Consider 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 qualified roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
