Detecting Signs of Roof Hail Damage
Not surprisingly, hail damages roofing materials in different ways. Here’s what our expert roofers want you to know about how hail affects different kinds of roofing materials.
- Asphalt shingles: A hailstorm can crack or break shingles around the edges or even displace them. Hailstones can also strip the granules off of asphalt shingles, making them prone to leaks.
- Slate tiles: Hailstorms cause slate tiles to become loose. If a slate shingle falls, it may have been loosened by hailstone a long time ago.
- Wood shingles: Hail can crack wood shingles along the grain, allowing moisture to seep underneath the shingle.
- Gutters: Hailstones can dent gutters, move debris around in a way that can clog gutters, and even knock them off of their hangars.

What to Do After a Hailstorm
After a hailstorm, start by taking a walk around your property. Look for signs of damage such as broken windows or missing shingles, but never assume that because you can’t see anything, then no damage was incurred.
Regardless of the size of the hail, it’s always best to call in a roofing expert for a comprehensive roof inspection. Sometimes, you may have difficulty detecting hail damage from the ground. Don’t neglect your roof after a hail storm only to discover leaks in your attic a few weeks or even months later.
