Roof Areas to Check for Hail Damage

There are signs that mean your roof has suffered significant damage from a hail storm. While some types of hail damage aren’t noticeable right away, others are obvious. Here are the signs you need prompt hail storm repair services.

Roof Shingles

Asphalt shingles are strong, but they aren’t immune to hail damage. If your shingles have blisters or small holes with loose granules, this indicates hail damage. This type of damage only results from strong impact and can lead to other serious problems later on, like severe roof leaks. If you notice your shingles have sustained damage after a hail storm, mark the spots and alert your roofing contractor immediately.

Gutters

Gutters that have sustained hail damage will typically have dents. Although quite easy to identify, this type of damage requires professional assessment, as the damage may go deeper than you realize.

Other External Roof Parts

The chimney, skylight and air conditioner are all vulnerable to hail damage. Their condition after a hail storm could give you an idea what repairs you’ll need.

Although you may think small dents are nothing to make a fuss about, you should keep in mind that any impact could affect the function of these roofing parts. That’s why you should never ignore hail damage.
