Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even minor hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in various ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even tiny hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Taking these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
