Hail Damage and Roofing: 5 Details That Homeowners Need to Know
When severe weather strikes, your roof is the first line of defense for your home. Hail, in particular, can cause significant damage that may not be immediately visible. At Bridgewater Roofing, we understand the importance of protecting your investment and ensuring your family's safety. We recently had a loyal customer reach out to us about some hail damage to their shingled roof that we installed 15 years ago. After inspection, the homeowners decided to have a full replacement and picked out their new roof color: Tamko Titan XT in Rustic Black. Just as we proudly served a homeowner in our community, we can help you as well! Let's explore the impact of hail on your roof and what you can do about it.
Why is Hail Damage Bad for a Roof?
Hailstorms can wreak havoc on your roof, even if the damage isn't immediately visible. Hail impacts can cause significant issues that compromise your roof's integrity over time. Here’s why hail damage is particularly bad for your roof:
-
Shingle Damage: Hail can crack, bruise, or displace shingles, weakening their ability to protect your home. Damage to the surface of shingles exposes the underlying layers to moisture, leading to leaks and water damage.
-
Granule Loss: Asphalt shingles are coated with granules that protect them from UV rays and weathering. Hail impacts can knock off these granules, leaving the shingles vulnerable to further deterioration.
-
Structural Weakening: Repeated hail impacts can cause dents or depressions in the roof, known as bruising. These weak spots may eventually lead to leaks or structural failures if left unaddressed.
-
Shortened Roof Lifespan: Even minor hail damage accelerates wear and tear on your roof, reducing its overall lifespan and increasing the likelihood of costly repairs or replacements down the line.
Are Older Roofs More Susceptible to Hail Damage?
Yes, older roofs are generally more vulnerable to hail damage. As roofing materials age, they become less resilient and more prone to damage from impacts. Regular maintenance and timely replacements are crucial for maintaining your roof's integrity and protecting your home from hail damage. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s wise to consider a replacement with durable materials like Tamko Titan XT shingles.
