Let’s dive into more detail about what homeowners should be on the look out for, post hail storm.
Common Storm-Related Issues
Hail Damage
Hail comes in all shapes and sizes, and so does the resulting damage. The ice during a hail storm can crack, dent and puncture shingles, and even the roof's underlayer if there was missing shingles or preexisting damage.
Wind Damage
The high winds that often accompany a hail storm can easily lift and rip off shingles, exposing your roof to water damage.
Water Damage
Water quickly infiltrates even the smallest of cracks in your roof. This can expose your roofing materials, insulation and even your interior walls to mold growth and structural issues.
