How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health

Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, especially in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can develop into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.



Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage

Hail can harm your roof in multiple ways, depending on the material and storm severity:

  • Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss uncovering the layer beneath open to UV damage.
  • Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
  • Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.

Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.

How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail

Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:

  • Use impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
  • Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
  • Plan for regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.

Investing in these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
