What to Do If You Suspect Hail Damage on Your Roof

If you’ve been through a hailstorm, you know the fear that comes with wondering if your roof has been damaged. Hail can cause significant damage to roofs, and often goes undetected until it’s too late. Roofers often see the most damage from hail during the summer, when storms are more common.

 

There are a few things you can look for to see if hail has damaged your roof.

• Look for any missing or damaged shingles.
• Also look for dents in gutters or downspouts, or any other metal surfaces on your roof.

If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call a roofer.

When a roofer comes to inspect your roof, they will look for any signs of damage. They may also use special equipment to check for hidden damage. If they find damage, they will usually recommend replacing the affected shingles or other materials. In some cases, they may also recommend reinforcing the structure of your roof to prevent further damage.

If your roof has been damaged by hail, it’s important to address the problem as soon as possible. If left untreated, hail damage can lead to leaks and additional damage down the road. And if you plan to sell your home in the future, having any issues with your roof addressed can improve the chances of a quicker sale.
