Calgary’s climate is known for sudden and intense hailstorms, especially during summer months. These hail events can cause significant damage to residential roofs, leading to leaks, broken shingles, and structural issues. Even small hailstones, when driven by strong winds, can wear down roofing materials over time, reducing the overall life span of your roof.
Common Signs of Hail Damage
After a hailstorm, homeowners should carefully inspect their roofs. Key signs include:
- Dented or cracked shingles – Often the first sign of hail impact.
- Granule loss – Asphalt shingles may lose their protective granules, exposing the underlayer.
- Leaks in ceilings or attics – Indicating water infiltration.
- Gutter and siding damage – Which often accompany roof impacts.
Why Immediate Action is Crucial
Ignoring hail damage can lead to worsening problems. Water can seep into your home’s structure, causing mold growth, insulation damage, and costly repairs. Addressing issues early with a professional roofing inspection ensures your home remains safe and secure.
