In Charlotte and Concord NC area, thunderstorms are usual
weather event that normally causes the homeowners problem with their roofing
system such as hail damage or other storm damage. However, when hail damage
occurs to their asphalt shingles, they normally think about how hard it is to
get the damaged roof fixed.
During the spring, the severe North Carolina thunderstorms
are normally happening yet they are still able to hit during other seasons. Hail
is normally forming when thunderstorm occurs that makes the ice particles back
to the air and resulting into forming hailstones. These will then fall to the
ground when they are too heavy and results to hail damage to the house.
Hail impact can be resisted by new asphalt
shingles whereas the older asphalt shingles can’t since they become brittle as
they ages. Asphalt shingles are made of colored mineral granules that are tough
and weatherproof. The warmer shingles are more capable of resisting fracture
from hail as compared to the colder asphalt shingles. Some of the signs that
the asphalt shingles sustain hail damage are when there is severe granule loss,
material at the edges of the shingles is loss and there are even penetrations
to the roof. To help the asphalt shingles resist hail damage, they rely to the
structurally sound underlayment. If you need to know about the information
