Hailstorms can cause significant damage to North Texas homes, especially their roofs. Hailstones can vary in size. They don’t need to be all that large to create dents, cracks and bruise roofing materials.
Hail damage may not always be immediately visible. Many homeowners don’t even realize they have hail damage until they begin noticing leaks after future rainstorms. If homeowners recognize the signs of hail damage and address it quickly, they can prevent more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional shingles, are coated with granules that provide protection against UV rays and weather elements. Hail can dislodge these granules, leaving the asphalt layer exposed. This reduces the shingle's effectiveness and can lead to accelerated deterioration.
Large hailstones can also cause cracks or bruises on the shingles, compromising their structural integrity. These issues can reduce the longevity of materials and lead to leaks and water damage over time.
Sometimes, hail can cause visible indentations without immediate cracking. These dents can weaken the shingles and may cause them to lift or become more susceptible to damage in future storms.
Metal roofs, including steel and aluminum, are prone to dents from hailstones. Although metal roofing is generally more durable, large hail can still create noticeable dings that can affect the roof’s appearance and potentially its performance.
The protective coating or paint on metal roofs can be scratched or chipped by hail, which can lead to rusting if not addressed. Hail impact may loosen fasteners or screws, which can result in leaks or other issues.
Tile roofing material, whether made of clay or concrete, can be cracked or broken due to hail impact. This type of damage can be severe, exposing the underlayment and leading to leaks.
Smaller hailstones may cause chipping around the edges of tiles, which can weaken the tiles and cause further damage. In some cases, hail may dislodge tiles or cause them to shift, creating gaps and vulnerabilities.
Slate is a very durable material, but it can still crack or split under the impact of large hailstones. This type of damage is often severe and can lead to significant leaks if not addressed.
Hail can chip the edges of slate tiles, weakening them and making them more susceptible to future damage. Hail may also cause slate tiles to shift or become loose, creating potential entry points for water.
