There are three key ways to identify hail damage on roofs so you can take appropriate action if you need to.
Quick disclaimer: it’s always best to have a professional inspect your roof instead of getting up on the ladder & roof and doing it yourself.
My team would be happy to give you a free roof inspection.
1.Check for Dents
The first thing we look for when checking for hail damage on a roof is dents. Hail can cause dents in roofing materials like shingles and these dents can be an indication of damage.
We inspect for dents by examining the surface of your roof and looking for any irregularities in the pattern of the roofing material. We’ll check closely for any small or large depressions in the roof’s surface that appear after a hailstorm.
2. Check for Cracks
Another way we spot hail damage on a roof is to look for cracks. Hail can cause cracks in roofing materials that may not be immediately visible.
Cracks are particularly dangerous because they can allow water to seep into your home and cause even more damage.
3. Look for Missing Material
Lastly, we will be on the lookout for any missing roofing material. Hail can knock shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials out of place, and these missing pieces can be a sign of significant hail damage.
We will inspect your roof’s surface carefully and will notice any areas where shingles or tiles are missing or damaged.
If you’ve experienced a hailstorm in your area, it’s important to check your roof for damage as soon as possible. Remember to inspect for dents, cracks, and missing material, as these are key signs of hail damage.
If you notice any of these indicators, it’s best to contact a professional roofing company to assess the damage and make any necessary repairs.
