Let’s first talk about how hail can actually damage your roofing system.
The damage caused by a hail storm can vary, and typically depends on the strength of the storm, amount of hail and size.
- Wind direction and strength is important to note because wind typically controls the angle and how hard the hail hits your roof.
- Hail can vary from coin sizes all the way to the size of a baseball. Of course, the larger the hail the more damage it can cause.
- Amount of hail is also important. More hail increases the changes of roof damage.
So what does hail damage look like?
There are different signs of roof damage caused by hail and they typically depend on the type of roofing material you have.
- Missing shingle granules
