Roof Hail Damage: Why You Should Deal With it Promptly

Any damage caused to your roof by inclement weather should be fixed as soon as possible. This is especially true following a hailstorm, which can accelerate wear and tear on your system through impact damage, and lead to extensive repairs when overlooked. Patriot Roofing, the premier roofing and  gutter installation  company in the area, details why you should never ignore hail damage on your roof.

Hailstones Can Leave Dents on Your Shingles.

When large hailstones crash against the roof surface, they can create dents and cracks on your shingles. Over time, these openings will grow bigger, leaving the roof more vulnerable to water infiltration. That’s why it’s always a great idea to have your roofing system checked by a professional after a hailstorm–even when there’s no apparent damage.

Hail Damage Can Weaken the Roofing Material. 

Hailstones damage your roof upon impact, and when they do, the protective mineral granules coating your asphalt shingles are knocked off. Extreme granule loss can compromise the weather performance of the roofing shingles, which in turn, leaves the substrate exposed to the elements. This allows roof leaks to develop, which should prompt  roof repair  work from a trusted company like Patriot Roofing LLC.

Hail Damage Fast Tracks Roof Replacement. 

We’ve mentioned that impact damage from hailstones can leave the substrate of the roofing shingle exposed. This makes your roof more prone to weather damage. Blistering sunlight, for example, can wear away at these weakened areas and make them susceptible to massive leaks. When left unattended, the damage to your roof may be serious enough to prompt an early replacement.
