SECURE THE AREA

How Can Hail Damage Affect a Home?

Hail damage can be detrimental to a home. It can affect all parts of the exterior surface, including:

  • Roof – Your roof takes the most impact from a hail storm. Hail can dent, puncture, crack, and bruise your roofing elements. Leaks can cause extensive water damage, and unrepaired damages can lead to earlier roofing replacements.
  • Siding – Your home’s siding may be cracked, dented, and warped from hail. Vinyl is prone to chipping and warping, while aluminum and wood typically dent. Moisture can seep through, leading to rot, mildew, and mold.
  • Windows and Gutters – Hail often breaks window panes and window seals, leading to moisture and air leaks seeping through the holes. Gutters and downspouts are often dented and knocked loose.

Signs of Hail Damage

The most common signs of hail damage include:

  • Roofing – You may notice shingles have divots that are soft to the touch, missing granules, and visible shingle damage.
  • Siding – Siding often shows holes, warps, cracks, dents, oxidation marks, and buckling.
  • Windows – It’s important to check for fog, moisture, and drafts between the panes and on the window sills. Windows may also show cracks, chips, and dents.
  • Rain Gutters – Gutters may have dents or become dislodged. You may also notice clogging.
  • Water Damage – Untreated hail damage often shows rot, mold, mildew, and leaks inside your home.

Staying Safe During A Hail Storm

A hail storm can be scary, so it’s important that you take precautions to ensure your safety. The size of hail and the amount of wind during hail storms can cause serious injury. The most important things to do during a hail storm to stay safe include:

  • Take shelter as soon as possible. If you’re outdoors, it’s important to remember that usual shelters like trees are dangerous due to high winds and lightning.
  • Stay away from windows and keep the curtains and blinds closed.
  • Stay close to your mobile phone and radio to stay informed about the storm.
  • Don’t use candles to light because they may be knocked over during the storm.
