Signs of Hail Damage
Hail damage can be tricky to identify because damage may be subtler than dents in shingles or a leaking roof. This is why it is crucial to have your roof inspected by a professional. If damage from is discovered after the window to file an insurance claim has closed, you will have to pay for the repairs out-of-pocket.
Some signs of hail damage include:
- “Bald” or dark spots. When hail hits a roof, the heavy stones can dislodge and loosen the ceramic granules that cover asphalt shingles. These granules protect the shingle from premature aging and water infiltration. Loose granules will then collect in gutters and downspouts.
- Bruised/cracked shingles. When hailstones fall thousands of feet from the sky and hit an asphalt shingle, the impact cracks the mat. As water enters these cracks, it will seep underneath the shingle and cause leaks.
- Dented metal. The high impact of hailstones will leave dents in gutters, downspouts and flashing on a roof.
