Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, especially in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even minor hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can reduce future repair expenses.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail damages your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are effective tips to reduce hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
