How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Roof After an Atlanta Storm

Jan 02, 2025

Are you worried that your roof might have hail damage that’s not readily apparent to the naked eye? Roof hail damage is an issue that needs to be dealt with promptly, and you might have a problem even though your roof seems fine.

In this article, we’ll provide some helpful tips for spotting roof hail damage following a storm.

The Dangers Posed by Hailstorms in the Atlanta Area

The summer hailstorms that often roll through the Atlanta area can cause a variety of troubling issues for asphalt shingle roofs. Even small hailstones can compromise the integrity of your roof, especially when combined with intense winds and heavy rain. Here are some of the common problems hailstorms can cause:

Cracked Shingles

The impact from hail can crack or split shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable to water infiltration.

Bruising

Hailstones can create soft spots on shingles that weaken their structure over time.

Granule Loss

The protective granules on asphalt shingles can be knocked off by hail, reducing their ability to shield your home from UV damage and rain.

Dented Metal Components

Hail can dent flashing, vents, and gutters, affecting the overall functionality of your roof.

These issues may not always be visible from the ground, which is why it’s crucial that your roof is inspected thoroughly after a hailstorm.

How to Identify Roof Hail Damage

Spotting hail damage on your roof requires close observation. Here are some key steps to take:

  • Check for visible damage – Look for cracked, missing, or curling shingles, as well as dents on metal surfaces like flashing or gutters.
  • Inspect your gutters – Granules from shingles often collect in gutters after a hailstorm, signaling potential damage.
  • Look for bruising – Run your hand over shingles to feel for soft spots or indentations caused by hail.
  • Examine your attic – Check for leaks, water stains, or light filtering through the roof, which could indicate damage.

While you can do a basic assessment yourself, the safest way to confirm the condition of your roof is to hire a reputable roofing company to provide a professional inspection. Roofing professionals will quickly recognize warning signs that you may miss.
