"Looking for Hail in all the Wrong Places" Yeah, I feel that you have to get up on the roof (when deemed safe to do so) to know for sure. To view worn shingles with exposed asphalt, fiberglass & loss of granules, you have to look directly down on the surface.
Three clues to hail damage:
- Ample build-up of granules in gutters on an otherwise newer roof. (Pic 1)
- Random areas where granules are missing and asphalt and fiberglass is exposed. (Pic 2)
- Look at the thin metal surface of your passive roof vents to see dimples. (Pic 3)
N. Metro Atlanta is a region where moderate to heavy hail is expected at least once every 20 years.
