How Hail Affects Your Roof

The effects of hail damage may be immediately visible, or they could remain hidden, causing even more extensive damage over time if left unchecked. That’s because hail has a number of different ways of attacking your roofing.

» Damaged Roofing Material

The impact of falling hailstones can easily crack or loosen shingles or roofing tiles, leaving the underlying rook deck exposed.

» Water Damage

People often forget that hail is nothing more than ice pellets. As these break against your roof, water can seep through cracks in the roofing material.

» “Bruising”

Even if your shingles withstand the initial barrage of hailstones, they pay a heavy price from the repeated impact. Small perforations may be left in the shingle itself gradually allowing water to seep in. Excessive shingle granule buildup in your rain gutters following a hailstorm is a good indicator that this has happened with your roof.
