Why Hail Damage Is a Major Concern for Most Roofs and What to Do Next

How to Identify and Address Hail Damage on Your Roof

Hailstorms are often overlooked when considering natural disasters but can damage roofs. Hailstones can be as small as pebbles or as large as softballs, and they can cause a great deal of damage to roof shingles, flashing, and gutters. Homeowners should know the likelihood of hail damage to their roofs and take necessary preventative steps. If hail damage does occur, it is essential to assess the damage and take prompt action to repair it.

 

The Impact of Hail Damage on Roofs

Hailstorms can devastate the roof’s integrity, causing dents, cracks, missing granules, and punctures. If left unchecked, these damages can lead to water infiltration, resulting in leaks and water damage that can worsen over time and require costly repairs or an entire roof replacement.

 

Identifying Hail Damage on Your Roof

If you think a hailstorm has damaged your roof, it is important to seek a professional assessment to assess the damage amount accurately. Look out for signs like dents, pockmarks, cracked shingles, or a lack of granules on the shingles. A certified roofing contractor can competently inspect the roof and ascertain the damage that has been done.

 

Preventative Measures

Homeowners can take certain precautions to reduce the damage their roof sustains from hail storms. Upgrading to impact-resistant shingles can provide an extra layer of protection. Regular maintenance, such as gutter cleaning and tree trimming, can reduce the chances of debris accumulating on the roof during a hailstorm.

 

Hailstorms can cause significant roof damage, resulting in costly repairs or replacement. It is important to act as fast as possible if you think a hailstorm has impacted your roof and to work closely with your insurance company to ensure you can get the most out of your policy. Shingles, flashing, and gutters are especially vulnerable to hail damage and must be inspected for any signs of wear.
