Impacts from hail is one of the leading causes of roof storm damage, and this form of damage often goes unnoticed by the homeowner. The small, pinhole-sized punctures that hail can leave behind are hard to see from the ground. This leads to granule shedding, leaving the shingles exposed to UV rays that cause curling and cracking—and that’s not all. Hail damage also occurs beneath the surface of the asphalt shingles. When hail impacts the roof, the bond between the shingles and substrate weakens. This causes the shingles to loosen and eventually detach from the roof.
This is where Extreme Weather Insights comes in. We offer a free tool that provides homeowners with real-time weather reports. With this tool, you will know what types of storms occurred in your area, and your risk factors for roof damage. With this information, you can decide if it’s time to contact local storm restoration contractors for a roof inspection.
Know When It’s Time for Storm Restoration Services
Storm restoration contractors know how to identify hail damage properly, and this is important for preventing further damage to your roof. A minor roof repair might be all that you need, and if left unrepaired, it’s only a matter of time before serious roofing problems arise.
However, if you want to assess the risk of hail damage yourself before hiring a roofing company, here are some signs that you can check for safely without getting on top of your roof:
- Blown-Off Shingles or Broken Shingles
- Hail Damage to Outdoor Plastic or Wood Furniture
- Cracked Exterior Light Fixtures
- Dents in Sheds, Garage Doors, and Fencing
- Dents on Your AC Condenser or Heat Pump Housing
- Chips, Dimples, and Dents in Painted Outdoor Surfaces
