Hail Damage in South Carolina: What Homeowners Need to Know

Hailstorms in South Carolina may not happen every week, but when they do, they can cause serious damage to your roof. Even small hailstones can shorten your roof’s lifespan — and the damage isn’t always obvious from the ground.

How Hail Damages Your Roof

• Bruised or Cracked Shingles: The impact knocks off protective granules and weakens the shingle surface.

• Loose Granules: Without granules, shingles lose UV protection and age faster.

• Hidden Leaks: Water can sneak under damaged shingles, leading to interior leaks weeks or months later.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Inspect

Hail damage often isn’t visible until it’s too late. Insurance companies may also have strict timelines for filing a claim, so acting quickly can save you thousands.

Tip from the Roof Rangers: If your neighborhood recently got hit by hail, schedule a professional inspection — even if your roof “looks fine” from the ground.
