The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, especially in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. 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 affects your roof in multiple ways, based 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, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail
Here are effective tips to reduce hail damage:
- Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Taking these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
