Hail Damage On Composite Shingles
A hail damaged roof can have a variety of appearances, depending on the severity and size of the hailstones, the type of roofing material, and other factors. Here are some common signs that your roof may have been damaged by hail:
- Dented or cracked shingles or tiles: Hailstones can cause small dents or cracks in the roofing material, which may be visible from the ground.
- Missing shingles or tiles: In more severe cases, hail can dislodge shingles or tiles from the roof, leaving gaps or holes.
- Bruises or indentations: Hail can also leave bruises or indentations on the roof’s surface, which may be less visible but can still cause damage.
- Granule loss: Hail can knock off the protective granules on the surface of shingles, which can lead to premature wear and tear and shorten the lifespan of your roof.
- Roof leaks: If your roof has been damaged by hail, it may be more susceptible to leaks and water damage.
If you suspect that your roof has been damaged by hail, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional as soon as possible. Delaying repairs can lead to more serious damage and costly repairs in the future.
