How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Roof
Hailstorms can cause significant damage to roofing materials, but the signs aren’t always obvious from the ground. Identifying hail damage early can help you address issues before they lead to leaks or structural problems. Here’s how to spot hail damage on your roof:
1. Inspect Shingles or Roofing Material
Look for dark spots, bruises, or dents where the granules are missing on asphalt shingles.
On metal roofs, check for small dings or indentations.
Wood shingles may show splits or sharp notches.
2. Check for Granule Loss
Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts can indicate damaged shingles.
Bare spots on shingles are a sign of hail impact.
3. Examine Flashing and Roof Vents
Look for dents, cracks, or other damage on metal flashing, vents, and skylights.
4. Assess Gutters and Downspouts
Dents or cracks in gutters and downspouts can also signal hail impact.
5. Look for Leaks or Water Stains
After a hailstorm, inspect your attic and ceilings for signs of leaks or water stains.
6. Consider a Professional Inspection
Hail damage is sometimes subtle and may require a trained eye to identify. Professional roofers can provide a thorough assessment and documentation for insurance claims.
Regular inspections after hailstorms and prompt repairs can prevent further roof deterioration. If you suspect hail damage, consider contacting a professional for a comprehensive evaluation.
