Hail occurs many times throughout the year. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, roughly 24 people have a hail related injury each year. However, hail can deal a great amount of damage to your home (roof & siding) leading to a costly insurance claim.
Costing roughly $1.6 billion in roofing damage each year, it’s important to have your roof routinely inspected for hail damage. Many believe that because they are not missing any shingles their roof must be fine. However, missing shingles are mainly caused by wind damage. Hail damage to your roof can lead to a leakage and can cause your shingles to sustain functional damage reducing the waterproofing life. Staying proactive and routinely having your roof inspected can save you a costly bill in the long run.
How do you determine if you’ve experience hail damage to your roof? One way is to inspect the roof closely. You should always consider hiring a professional to perform this service whenever possible. If there is a large amount of black mineral deposits, your roof may have hail damage. Additionally, thoroughly inspecting your gutters, downspouts and any soft metals for dents, discoloration and holes will save you down the road as these are indicators for potential hail damage to your roof.
