WHY DOES RESOLVING HAIL DAMAGE MATTER IN NYC?

Some hailstorms lasting up to only 10 minutes can severely damage and wreak havoc on shingle roofing, or aluminum siding. Even smaller pieces of hail pelting a roof can loosen and wash off its protective granules. Granules make up the protective outer layer of roof shingles. When dislodged, the asphalt underneath becomes exposed, which will make the shingles deteriorate much faster than normal, causing the roof to leak. This breach in your home’s protective barrier can be reversed if properly diagnosed and resolved. G Keith Roofing and waterproofing roof inspectors are well adept at identifying hail damaged roofs. Our roof repair team can restore rooftops to prior levels of strength and durability.

ROOF HAIL DAMAGE FACTORS IN NEW YORK

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT THE TYPE AND DEGREE OF DAMAGE THAT CAN BE IMPACTED BY A HAILSTORM. USE THIS AS A GUIDE TO HELP IDENTIFY HAIL DAMAGE TO YOUR ROOFING SYSTEM.

SIZE AND DENSITY

Size undoubtedly affects the degree of damage to your roof and surrounding property. Sometimes hailstones can be as large as a baseball or as small as a pea. Hailstones will not typically feature smooth edges, which can impact the amount of damage left behind.

WIND

During any sort of hailstorm, wind speed can vary. Wind condition changes can also affect the severity and location of hail damage.

BUILDING MATERIALS

Building materials can absorb hail differently. For instance, hail can crack wood shakes or vinyl siding, while only causing dings to asphalt shingles and aluminum siding. Additionally, the condition and age of the roof can affect the degree of damage.

BARRIERS

Positioning of neighboring structures, including trees, landscaping, and other homes, can help to reduce the impact of hailstorms.

WHAT DOES HAIL DAMAGE DO TO A ROOF?

Hail damage can vary based on several factors, such as size, wind direction, wind speed, roof material, age of roof and the slope. Hail damage can ultimately lead to some costly roof leaks, among other issues. It’s the cosmetic damage that can be more severe than it appears. Broken edges, punctures, bruises, and granule loss have been known to cause serious consequences. Let’s take a look at a few specific types of damage.

SHINGLE CRACKS

Hard hailstorms can grip the shingles, causing cracks. This ultimately causes exposure and tears, creating bare spots on the roof. Cracked shingles will not be able to properly protect your roof from any inclement weather in the future.

GRANULE LOSS

This is essentially the sandpaper-like part of shingles. When shingles lose granules, asphalt coating is then exposed to the elements. This will lead to accelerated aging. Always check your gutters after hailstorms to see if any granules have come free.

FRACTURED FIBERGLASS MAT

This can be slightly difficult to detect and usually requires a professional check. Fractured fiberglass can end up causing buckles, tears and cracks.

EXPOSED FIBERGLASS MAT

Hail can shatter the shingles’ surfacing, causing it to break free from the mat underneath.

WEAKENED SELF-SEAL STRIP

Hail and high gusts of wind can weaken your shingle’s seal integrity. Weakened seals cause shingles to blow off and leave the roof exposed. Whenever a shingle is damaged, its integrity has been compromised. If your residential and/or commercial roof has been destroyed by unforeseeable weather conditions, contact G Keith Roofing and waterproofing immediately to prevent any further costly roof repairs. We’re always here to help!
