Is Hail Damage Immediately
Noticeable?
Definitely not always… hail impact may cause a gradual loss of granules that can, over time, result in
premature aging of the roof shingles.
Without visual damage, there is no real way to be sure how much hail damage shingles have
encountered. Outward damage may not be apparent until months or even years later.
How Can I Tell If My Roof Was Damaged?
Hail damage can appear as indentations and fractures in the roof shingle surface.
Hailstones vary in size and shape and create a random pattern of damage.

What Are The Possible
Types Of Hail Damage To My Shingles?
- Granule loss at points of impact, which may be accompanied by surface depression.
- Cracks in the surfacing, which may radiate outward from points of impact.
- Exposed fiberglass mat, where the granule-asphalt surfacing has been shattered and
has broken away from the mat. - A fractured fiberglass mat, which may or may not be immediately visible. A fractured
mat may result in tears from the points of impact. Furthermore, hidden
damage to the mat can develop into cracks and tears at a later point in time as the shingles age. - Storm damage can result in the loosening of the self-seal strip. This damage may be
immediately visible or may weaken the seal integrity, creating the possibility of future
shingle blow off.
Is Hail Damage Covered Under My Roof Warranty?
