The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage
Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even minor hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in various ways, depending on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are effective tips to reduce hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
- Ensure proper roof maintenance, like repairing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.
- Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
