Hail Damage: Why It Needs to Be Found & Fixed… ASAP!

Columbus, Ohio residents are no strangers to severe weather conditions especially during this time of the year. During the transition of the seasons, thunderstorms frequent the area. These bring lightning, strong winds, heavy rains, and yes, even large hails the size of baseballs.

We all know what hail can do to your home, especially your roof yet most homeowners take it for granted. If left unattended, these can cause larger structural problems like leaks which spawn other stresses like an increased electricity bill, high repair costs, etc.

That’s why we at Muth & Company Roofing, the premier Columbus roofer, advise our clients to inspect their roofs immediately after a hailstorm to avoid further damage. To help you with your roof inspection, we came up with this list of things to look for when inspecting your roof after a strong hailstorm:

1. Torn, curled, blistered, or blown-off shingles, dented vents, dented gutters, skylights, etc.
2. Water stains on the ceiling, particularly in corners, around light fixtures, and around the chimney
3. Water seepage or wet insulation
4. Metal parts such as vents, plumbing pipe flashing, stacks and roof jacks for dents
