When it comes to hail damage, most people just think of the roof of the home because most of the hailstones come from directly above the house. However, the siding can also be vulnerable to hail damage, although people are not too familiar with what those problems look like. Here are a few signs that may indicate hail damage on your siding.
Chipped Paint
If your home has painted siding, one of the first things you should look for are signs of chipped paint. Because hail strikes on the side of the home come from a sharp angle, paint chips tend to be elongated and vertical, with the hailstone eventually deflected off the surface.
Small Cracks
Small cracks on the siding’s surface can also be an indication of hail damage. They are different from other cracks because they tend to be biggest at the point of impact and rarely stretch out for several inches. A hail damage restoration company will be able to check whether the crack was indeed caused by strong impact or a result of something else, such as warping or strong winds.
Dents
Some materials are flexible enough that cracks or paint chips won’t show up. However, hailstones can still cause small dents on the surface of your siding. This is especially true if you have vinyl or metal siding panels.
