The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, especially in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even minor hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in multiple ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even tiny hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
