Signs of Hail Damage on Your Roof

Hail damage is not always obvious, especially from the ground. A trained roofing professional can identify damage that most homeowners would miss entirely. Here are the most common signs of hail damage to look for:

Shingle Damage

• Granule loss – Hail impacts knock the protective granules off asphalt shingles, leaving dark spots or bare patches. You may also notice excessive granules collecting in your gutters and downspouts after a storm.
• Bruising and soft spots – Hail can create soft, depressed areas in shingles that compromise their waterproofing ability. These bruises may not be visible but can be felt by pressing on the shingle surface.
• Cracked shingles – Larger hail can crack shingles outright, creating immediate pathways for water to reach the underlayment and decking below.
• Exposed fiberglass mat – When granule loss is severe, the black fiberglass mat beneath the granules becomes visible, indicating the shingle has lost its primary layer of UV and weather protection.

Metal Component Damage

• Dented flashing – Metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges is easily dented by hail, which can break the seal and allow water intrusion.
• Damaged gutters and downspouts – Hail frequently dents aluminum gutters and downspouts. While cosmetic, these dents can also affect water flow and drainage.
• Vent and cap damage – Metal roof vents, ridge caps, and plumbing boots can be cracked or dented by hail impact.

Other Damage

• Cracked or broken skylights – Skylights are particularly vulnerable to hail impact and may crack, chip, or shatter completely.
• Dented siding and window trim – If hail has damaged your siding, there is a very high probability your roof has sustained damage as well.
• Damaged window screens and AC units – These ground-level indicators confirm that hail was large enough to cause roof damage.

Indiana Hail Season: What You Need to Know

Hail season in Indiana typically runs from March through August, with the highest frequency of damaging hailstorms occurring in May and June. However, significant hail events can occur at any time during the spring and summer months.

Key facts about Indiana hail and roof damage:

• Indiana averages more than 30 significant hail events per year across the state.
• The Indianapolis metropolitan area sits squarely in the hail belt and regularly experiences storms producing quarter-sized hail or larger.
• Hail as small as one inch in diameter (quarter-sized) can cause functional damage to asphalt shingles.
• Golf ball-sized hail (1.75 inches) almost always causes significant roof damage requiring repair or replacement.
• You typically have one year from the date of the storm to file an insurance claim for hail damage in Indiana.

Hail Size and Roof Impact

Not all hail causes the same level of damage. Here is a guide to common hail sizes and their typical impact on roofing materials:

• Pea-sized (0.25 inch) – Generally causes no functional damage to roofing materials, though it may dislodge some loose granules on older roofs.
• Marble-sized (0.50 inch) – Can cause minor granule loss on asphalt shingles, especially on roofs that are already aged or weathered.
• Quarter-sized (1.00 inch) – The threshold for functional shingle damage. Can bruise shingles, cause significant granule loss, and dent soft metals.
• Golf ball-sized (1.75 inches) – Causes severe shingle damage including cracking, splitting, and heavy granule loss. Metal components will be visibly dented. Roof replacement is often necessary.
• Baseball-sized (2.75 inches) – Can puncture roofing materials, break through decking, crack skylights, and cause structural damage. Immediate emergency tarping is typically required.
