Recent Hailstorm: What Hail Damage Can Do To Your Iowa Home
It’s Time To Identify Hail Damage
If you haven’t had the chance the step outside and survey your home for hail damage, today is the day. The recent hailstorm we experienced this past week has taken a toll on a lot of Central Iowa homeowners leaving them devastated and confused. If you are unsure if your home has experienced hail damage, we have created a list of signs to look for on your roof, gutters, and siding.
HAIL DAMAGE ON YOUR ROOF
Missing Pieces of Asphalt or Cracks in Your Shingles
Search For Small Dents In Metal Flashing, Valleys, and Roof Vents
Look For Black Substrate In Your Shingles.
Use Your Hand To Feel Your Shingles For Cracks & Dimples
HAIL DAMAGE ON YOUR SIDING
Run Your Hand Along The Siding & Look For A Chalky Residue Left On Your Hand
Look For Dents
Look In Between Siding For Any Significant Gaps Or Unequal Gapping
Buckling Or Wrapping Is a Common Sign That Your Siding Is Damaged
HAIL DAMAGE ON YOUR GUTTERS
Look For Dented Gutters & Downspouts
Check For Sagging Or Gapping Gutters
If Your Siding Has Stains On It, That Is A Sign Your Gutters Are Leaking
Check For Water Leaks Around Your Foundation
Ignoring Hail Damage Is Dangerous
Ignoring hail damage is a very dangerous game and can lead to many problems in your home. While you may think it is only a minor fix, it could turn into a major fix tomorrow. Your roof and siding act as the home’s first line of defense from the elements. One of the biggest threats is moisture. Water can cause mold, rot, and destruction on the inside of your home. The longer you wait you increase the number of damaging problems.
