The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms can seriously damage 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 now can help you avoid costly repairs.
Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage
Hail affects your roof in multiple ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Schedule regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.
Taking these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
