Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, especially in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even minor hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in several ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath open to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
