You really donât want this hitting your house do you?
Hereâs what can happen if you donât do something about it now
Shingle Damage: Hail can crack, bruise, or even break roofing shingles. This weakens the shingles' ability to protect your roof from water, wind, and sun damage. Over time, damaged shingles may curl, crack more, or fall off.
Granule Loss: Asphalt shingles have granules that protect them from UV rays and weather. Hail can knock off these granules, exposing the shingle material underneath. This exposure speeds up aging and deterioration.
Leaks: Cracks or holes caused by hail can allow water to seep into the roof structure. This can lead to water damage in the attic, mold growth, and rot in the wooden parts of the roof.
Structural Damage: In severe cases, hail can damage the underlying roof deck or support structures, compromising the roofâs integrity.
Reduced Lifespan: Overall, hail damage shortens the expected life of your roof, meaning you might need repairs or replacement sooner than planned.
It's important to inspect your roof after hailstorms and get professional assessments to catch damage early before it worsens. Keeping your roof in good shape is like keeping your kitchen mise en placeâeverything in order for the best performance!
