It is important to be able to detect the signs of hail damage in the first place so you can begin to protect your roof and your home before worse damage occurs. Some of the telltale signs of roof damaged caused by hail include:

• Damaged Flashing – The flashing around your chimney, skylight or other structures that protrude from your roofline may be dented after a hail storm. Flashing is designed to seal your roof from breaks in the roofline and when it is dented or otherwise compromised it could begin to let in moisture, air, and water.

• Asphalt Granules – If you have asphalt shingling and just braved a hail storm, check the areas around the downspouts of your gutters. If you are seeing what looks like sand deposits on the ground your shingles may have become damaged. This sand-like material may actually be the asphalt granules from your shingles that have been blasted off of them by high impact hail.

• Ridge Cap Dents – The ridge cap of a roof will be a lengthwise strip of asphalt or metal covering the crest of the roof. You will know if this portion of the roof has been damaged by hail if you see that it is dented.

• Dimples – Again, if you have asphalt shingles you may want to run your hand along some of your shingles to feel for dimples. Hail damage to asphalt shingles can sometimes be hard to spot visually so feeling for dimples is a good way to find out for sure if they have become damaged. If you feel dimples or grooves, it could mean that the shingle is starting to deteriorate.

Of course, the best way to find out whether your roof has become damaged by hail is to call out a roofing contractor to inspect it. This way you won’t have to climb atop your roof after a storm when it may be wet and slippery.
