Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, notably 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 in advance can help you avoid costly repairs.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in several ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened 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 effective tips to reduce 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.
- Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures strengthens your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
