One thing is well known to everyone when we refer to the
weather: it is unpredictable. During its lifetime, a roof will face countless severe
weather phenomena, including hail storms, which are among the most dangerous,
especially if hail stones are large and dense.
Among the most vulnerable roof coatings in front of
hailstorms are those made of ceramic tile, but any roofing material can be
damaged more or less. Sometimes the damage will remain hidden. The hail can
cause latent damage, which can lead to premature wear of the roof.
Unfortunately, if the damage is not spotted promptly, repairs will be delayed
and the damage will not fix itself, on the contrary: it will grow into bigger
and costlier problems. Latent damage can sometimes become visible only after a
few months.
Usually, after a hail storm, if the roof has been damaged,
cracks, scratches or dents will be observed on the surface of the cover
materials or on the elements of the pluvial system. Hail can also destroy the
masonry of the chimney.
If the roof has been damaged, it is absolutely necessary to
repair it. The affected materials must be replaced and the area properly sealed by Crystal Lake roofing professionals,
to restore the protection offered by your roof.
