<strong>How</strong> <strong>Hail</strong> <strong>Can</strong> <strong>Affect</strong> <strong>Your</strong><br />
<strong>Roof</strong><br />
Due to climate change, the weather can be so unpredictable<br />
particularly hailstorm. Though, you know the fact that<br />
winter is coming soon, you can’t guess whether it is safe or<br />
not to go outside as hail falls widely to the streets. Hence,<br />
roofers should explain their clients (homeowners) how does it<br />
relatively <strong>How</strong> can I tell if the roof was damaged? Generally,<br />
damage can be seen as indentations and/or fractures on the<br />
shingle’s surface.<br />
Is The Damage Too Obvious?<br />
The damage of the hail is not<br />
immediately noticeable, for it<br />
matures over time . With<br />
this, you cannot usually see<br />
an obvious damage brought<br />
about by the hail, therefore<br />
there is no possibility that<br />
one can be sure of the damage<br />
in the shingles.
Signs Of <strong>Roof</strong> Damages<br />
Destruction on the shingles’<br />
exterior is perceived as cracks and<br />
dents. <strong>Hail</strong>stones come in different<br />
sizes and texture and could bring<br />
unusual deformity on the surface.<br />
If the following is not visible, you<br />
can scan for fractures on metal<br />
flashings, siding, chimney caps, or<br />
even skylight flashings.<br />
Usual types of Damage<br />
Lost Of Granules immediately after impact can be brought by<br />
surface depression.<br />
Cracks Found In The Granule-Asphalt Surfacing, which may<br />
radiate outward from points of impact.Exposed Fiberglass<br />
Mat, where hail shattered the granule-asphalt surfacing<br />
causing it to break away from the fiberglass mat.<br />
Fractured Fiberglass Mat, which may or may not be<br />
immediately visible.<br />
Loosening of the self-seal strip. This damage may or may not<br />
be immediately visible and may weaken the seal integrity
What To Do next?<br />
The next thing you must do is not to panic. You can deal with<br />
the problem by checking your roofing warranty if it covers by<br />
nature cases such as this. In case that it does, do not hesitate to<br />
call your roofers and tell them about the problem. You can<br />
identify the damages to them and they will simply execute the<br />
necessary things which are needed to your roof.You can also<br />
check your home property insurance prior to the subject matter.<br />
Keep in mind that most of these insurance firms will look for the<br />
cheapest service and the cheapest materials as much as<br />
possible.<br />
