The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail damages your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
