The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, notably in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even minor hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can reduce future repair expenses.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in various ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are useful tips to minimize 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.
- Schedule regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
