The hail damage to homes can be significant and can give the home a terrible appearance. Additionally, hail damage to the roof can cause the shingles to allow water to leak into the home. The serious problem besides the appearance is what a water leak can do to the inside of a home. It is essential to have an assessment of the Hail Damage Fountain CO by a professional roofer and a siding installer.
If the roof has serious hail damage around the flashing, or if the hail has broken the shingles and damaged the decking, then its time to look at repairs or even replacement of the roof. When a large piece of hail hits the flashing it can dislodge the flashing from the area that it is supposed to protect. This will allow the water to enter the area under the shingles and cause the decking to rot. The next event is water in the attic and running down the walls into the living quarters of the home. This water will leave a trail of black mold that is harmful to the occupants’ health. The best course of action if the hail has done this kind of damage is to replace the roof, the moistuer barrier and perhaps the decking also. While no one wants to replace a roof that was in good shape until a few days ago, no one wants the problems associated with a roof that is a risk.
Hail damage can also destroy siding by breaking it up and certainly ruining its appearance. Siding that has holes in it, or that has become separated from the wall of the house will also be a source of water rotting the material that the siding is attached to. While it may take some time to cause the damage, the siding meanwhile looks bad and so does the home. No one wants to look at this siding that appears like it has been used for target practice by a big gun. It is time to call the siding specialists at Hail Damage Fountain CO for an estimate of the damage. Perhaps they can replace pieces rather than all of the siding.
