Every day, your roof faces harsh outdoor elements. Aside from the usual heat, winds, and rains, it defends your home against hailstorms. While the primary role of a roof system is to deliver weather protection, there’s only so much it can take. That said, it can develop damage from large and high-speed hail stones.
If you suspect your roof has damage, don’t wait long before contacting professionals.
Your homeowner’s insurance might cover repairs for hail damage. However, your insurer might not pay for fixing the problems caused by ignoring hail damage. Also, many insurance companies have deadlines for filing claims. Your claim might get rejected if you don’t contact your insurer immediately.
Asphalt shingles are among today’s most preferred residential roofing options. They have granules that protect them from UV rays. Without these sediments, the material will become exposed to the elements. Over time, they will get weak and eventually fail. Call professionals if you notice a significant amount of shingle granules in your gutters or on the ground.
Ignoring roofing issues will eventually lead to water damage. Shingles can crack or get loose due to the impact of hail. Water can infiltrate the affected shingles and damage the structures underneath them. Excessive moisture can result in mold growth and rot. Leaks can also cause issues with your home’s electrical system.
Some signs of hail damage are not obvious, and you might not even be aware of the problem until water leaks indoors. Leave your storm damage repair needs to Deschutes Roofing.
