Hail and wind damage
are typically excluded
from the manufacturer’s
warranty, so have your roof inspected even if it’s new. No leaks doesn’t mean no damage. It can take time for hail and wind damage to become visible, so have your roof inspected immediately after a storm. If you wait too long, you might jeapordize your opportunity to file a claim.
How Hail Damages A Roof
- Hail causes granules to break off from the shingle leaving the asphalt directly exposed to the sun. This causes the roof to fail earlier than expected.
- Damaged shingles are no longer able to effectively shed water, which reduces the lifespan of the shingle and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Damage must be identified by a trained professional
How Wind Damages a Roof
- Wind loosens fasteners and breaks the adhesion making the roof susceptible to damage.
- Damaged shingles are no longer able to effectively shed water, which reduces the lifespan of the shingle and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Damage must be identified by a trained professional.
