[LAUREL, 11/10/2017] — As the American Home Contractors knows, Maryland is no stranger to natural disasters. As a matter of fact, in 2011, two disasters happened within the same week: an earthquake and a hurricane. .

This year is no different. In February, a severe line of thunderstorms moved through the state, with hail and strong winds battering one county, according to a news report posted in WBAL-TV. The news station received several photos and reports of hail ranging from the size of a dime to the size of a quarter. More recently, the National Weather Service issued an advisory that warns residents of heavy rain moving across the state. It also announced that snow would inch closer to the western parts.

Weather conditions such as hail and snow can take a toll on one’s roofing system.

How Hail and Snow Damage Roofs

A report posted on FacilitiesNet.com says that a big enough piece of hail could result in long-term problems for the roof even if there is no visible sign of damage. It can create hairline punctures and cracks that are difficult to notice and won’t appear right away. Moreover, hail could potentially destroy the roof’s membrane, insulation, and the substrate. Hence, if an extreme wind managed to blow off a roof, chances are the hail has already dealt damage to them before the wind.

Snow, on the other hand, may accumulate in abnormal levels due to the roof’s configuration and damage the structure. If a foot of snow falls, there may be parts of the roof where the snow is at five feet due to how the snow builds up.
