Storm-related damage to shingles made of asphalt and composition:
- Damage that occurs at random and in no particular pattern can be identified.
- It’s a hailstorm, and the hail is black.
- The loss of granules, which may lead to the roof felt becoming exposed.
- A shiny mat or asphalt that looks to be shining.
- Hail that resembles a bruise on an apple in terms of texture.
Damage to Wood Shingles Caused by Hail:
- Damage that occurs at random and in no particular pattern can be identified.
- A brown/orange-colored shingle split.
- Shingle crack with pointed or angular corners or edges.
- A shingle split with little to no degradation at the edges.
In addition to hail damage, there are numerous additional sorts of damage to shingles. Shingles, for example, become brittle and appear older when they are exposed to harsh weather and sunshine. This type of damage is not hail damage, but rather typical wear and tear on shingles. Normal wear and tear may also include blistering, cracking and granule loss, peeling, and algae. Hail damage might be misinterpreted for flaws in the shingle’s construction, such as manufacturing flaws or mechanical problems.
