Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly 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 save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail damages 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 weakened fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.
Did you know? Even minor hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.
Following these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
