Hailstorms, while short-lived, can leave a long-lasting imprint on your home, particularly your roof. These ice pellets can be small as peas or as large as baseballs, pelting down at speeds up to 70mph! When they hit, they can cause everything from minor cosmetic issues to severe structural damages. If the aftermath of a hailstorm has you squinting at your roof and wondering about the extent of the damage, you’re not alone.
Signs Your Roof Suffered Hail Damage
- Dents on Metal: If you have a metal roof or metal vents, look for any obvious dings or dents. These are the clearest indicators of hail impact.
- Granule Loss: Check your gutters and downspouts. A significant amount of granules might suggest that the hail has stripped the protective layer from your asphalt shingles.
- Cracks or Bruises on Shingles: While these may not be immediately visible from the ground, a closer inspection can reveal dark spots or bruises where the granules have been knocked away.
- Broken or Cracked Tiles: If you have slate or clay tiles, hail might crack or break them upon impact.
- Damaged Flashing: The metal strips around your chimneys, skylights, or vents might show signs of impact.
Why Immediate Inspection Is Vital
Postponing a roof inspection after a hailstorm can lead to:
- Leaks and Water Damage: Compromised shingles or tiles can allow water to seep through, leading to structural damage and mold.
- Decreased Lifespan of Your Roof: Continuous neglect can shorten the life of your roofing system.
- Higher Utility Bills: Damages can reduce the insulation capability of your roof, leading to higher heating or cooling costs.
