🌩️ Norwalk just got hit with hail. Here’s one thing about your shingles most homeowners don’t think about.
Your roof might look perfectly fine from the ground after a hailstorm. But that doesn’t always tell the whole story.
One thing worth understanding is granule loss on your asphalt shingles.
Those tiny granules aren’t just there for appearance. They play an important role in protecting your roof:
↳ ☀️ UV protection — helps shield the asphalt from sun exposure.
↳ 💧 Weather protection — helps shingles perform as designed and shed water.
↳ 🏠 Long-term durability — helps protect shingles from premature deterioration.
Hail can dislodge granules and damage shingles in ways that aren’t always obvious from the ground.
⚠️ Here’s what homeowners should know:
Not every granule you find in your gutters means you have hail damage. Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages.
The important thing is determining whether the recent storm caused damage that needs attention.
That’s where a professional roof inspection can help.
