Everything You Need to Know About Hail and Your Roof!

We've been experiencing some unseasonal weather around the Ozarks this December! From high winds and some hail, these storms can impact your roof! If you experienced any hail or high winds the past week, you may be wondering how it can impact your roof. Read on to learn more about the damage hail can cause to your roof!  What are Hail Stones? Hailstones form when tiny particles are swept up high into a storm system by an updraft. Water vapor condenses on the particles and then when it gets to a certain height, it freezes. These small hailstones can be lifted into the storm system multiple times, therefore increasing in size before finally falling out. Hailstones can fall for one of two reasons; either a downdraft sends them falling to the ground or the hail becomes too large for the updraft to overcome the force of gravity. Hailstones can be any size from tiny pebbles or dime-sized to a golf ball- or even baseball-sized. Hail Storms in Missouri On average, Missouri can expect 2-3 h...

Regular inspection of your roof is one of the best prevention methods for premature roof failure. When you catch roof damage you can potentially prolong the life of your roof. Not sure what you should be looking for? Our roofing company at the Lake of the Ozarks has a few tips for you!  Exterior Inspection Since inspecting the exterior of your roof may require you to climb on the roof and walk around, it's typically best to hire a professional to do this. Examine all gutters and downspouts. Make sure that the drains are secured to the roof and free from debris.  Visually explore your roof for damaged shingles. Look for shingles that are cracked, torn, bald or missing.  Look around the chimney for any loose materials and any wear around the chimney pipes and vents.  Note any rusty nails or flashings.  Be aware of any moisture, rot or mold. These are signs of potentially damaging water wear.  Look for shingle granules in the gutter. A large number of granules...
