Picture a hail storm hitting your shingles. It’s a pellet storm hitting thing asphalt rectangles that have to take the pummeling. This gives you a good visual to how a severe hail storm impacts your shingles and how it can damage other items on your roofing like a skylight, vent hood, gutter or flashing.

After you get a severe storm, be sure to check if you have any water leaks inside your home. That’s a common sign that there’s something amiss with the roofing or gutters.

Different Kinds of Hail Damage on a Roof

Hail Damage to Asphalt Shingling:
Shingles can have broken or cracked tabs, however when the wind pushes the hail into the shingle granules but the most common hail damage is when the hail gets pushed into the shingle granules. Since granules protect the shingle from UV rays which break it down over time. So when that protection is no longer there, water gets in and under the shingling and causes issues in the home. The water damage may even qualify for insurance coverage depending on your policy.

Hail Damage to Wood Shingles: Wood shingles can get damaged in hail storms too. They most often crack along the grain when stressed under hail.

Slate Roof Hail Damage: Slate has a hard time under a hail storm and cracks typically more randomly than wooden shingles.
