Hail Damaged Roofing

Your roof is the most affected part of your home during a hail storm. This is because it the largest exposed area of your house thus every part of it is vulnerable to hail damage:

Granule loss: When a shingle loses granules, its asphalt coating is exposed to the elements, and this leads to accelerated aging.

Cracks in the shingles: Cracked shingles cannot effectively protect your roof from the weather and can leave bare spots in it.

Exposed & fractured fiberglass mat: Hail can shatter the roof shingles’ surfacing, causing it to break away from the fiberglass mat underneath. Fractured fiberglass mats can result in tears and cracks from a point of hail impact. This can be slightly harder to detect and usually requires a trained eye.

Weakened self-seal strip: Hails can weaken the seal integrity of your shingles which can cause a shingle to blow off and can leave your roof exposed to the elements. This can lead to roof leaks, and it can cause other shingles around it to tear.

Other Hail Damages

A driving hailstorm can cause damage to your air conditioning unit. Large pieces of hail can harm the fins on your unit, which in turn restricts airflow and impedes function. Chimneys and flue vents are also susceptible to damage from hail storms.

Hail Damaged Gutter

Hail dents in your gutters can cause leaks, pooling water, damaged downspouts and outlets, broken gutter hangers, and many other water damage problems that can disrupt the way that water is directed away from your home. This is why it is very important to call in a local gutter expert after a hail storm so that these issues can be avoided before the next rainfall.
