The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can reduce future repair expenses.
How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are useful tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
