Hail Damage

Hail forms when frozen water drops are lifted in winds during thunderstorms. The frozen drops of water increase in size and eventually fall to earth as hail having been driven by a combination of gravity and wind forces. Hail size distributions tend to be localized with some roofs damaged, while others are not. Wind direction plays an important role, as well as roof pitch. A direct impact of hail on a shingle is more damaging than an indirect blow. Assessing hail damage is often accomplished by a roof inspection, which usually happens several days to several months after the hail storm. Figuring out if hail actually fell at a site can be made just by watching or listening to the news or by checking the weather report. Hail damage to asphalt shingles includes severe granule loss, material removal at the edges of the shingles and penetration. New asphalt shingles are more resistant to hail impact than older shingles since the asphalt becomes more brittle with age. Warmer shingles are more compliant and more resistant to fracture from hail when compared with colder shingles. It is very important to get the exteriors of your home inspected after a storm with hail, the damage to your home could create bigger problems and headaches that can be avoided.
