Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, especially in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can save you thousands.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail damages your roof in multiple ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
