Hailstorms, with their sharp, pointy bits of ice, can wreak havoc on roofs in a very short amount of time. Large hailstones particularly bear the potential to tear through shingles or break tiles, creating openings for water, wind, and even more hail to penetrate the inner sanctuaries of homes. This immediate structural damage, compounded with the deteriorated shingles, often results in hefty repair, if not replacement costs, for homeowners.
The effects of hail damage extend beyond the immediate breaches in a roof’s surface. Water intrusion from damaged roofs leads to further complications, such as rusting out plumbing and appliances, and moisture issues that can go unnoticed under painted ceilings or tiles, paving the way for mold growth. Moreover, hail impacts can bruise your roof, causing dents of varying sizes that, if ignored, can lead to more severe problems, including compromised structural integrity and decreased thermal efficiency.
Asphalt shingles and metal roofs face unique challenges when it comes to hail damage. For asphalt roofs, hail can displace or damage shingles, leading to water leaks and mold growth. It’s crucial to inspect these shingles immediately after a storm. With metal roofs, hail can cause rusting by scraping away the protective outer coating, weakening the roof’s overall strength and potentially leading to costly replacements.
Hail damage may also involve the loss of granules, which are critical for the protection and longevity of the roof. This loss, often undetectable until it’s too late, can shorten the roof’s lifespan significantly. Furthermore, gaps and penetrations in the roof can lead to temperature fluctuations inside the property, impacting both comfort and energy costs.
The foremost action to take following a hailstorm is to contact a professional roofing contractor for an extensive inspection. This evaluation will help determine whether repairs will suffice or a complete roof replacement is necessary. For roofs with displaced or damaged shingles due to hail, replacing the whole row of shingles may ensure a more seamless and effective restoration.
Only a thorough professional assessment can unveil the extent of hail damage, which might include issues not immediately visible to the untrained eye. Experienced contractors can also advise on the best materials and repair methods to ensure the roof’s integrity and durability against future storms.
