Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can reduce future repair expenses.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail affects your roof in several ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
