New Hail Damage and Inadequate Ventilation on an Architectural Shingle RoofIN  Knoxville, TN.

Knoxville Roofers called out to inspect suspected insufficient ventilation in this roof. Fresh hail damages were discovered on this roof during our roof inspection. Judging by the granule loss and a large amount of asphalt deterioration, it is suspected this hail damage has happened in the last couple of months.

    Hail damage to soft metals

    white gutters are in this picturethe gutter guards have hail that has damaged them

    In the first photo, you can see no dents or protrusions from the bottom side of the gutter. You can see dents in the soft metal gutter guards from the top side. These took the brunt of the impact and masked the presence of hail damage from underneath. In the second photo, you will notice very few shingle granules in the gutters. This is a sign that this hail damage is fresh. As hail damage ages, granules slide off the roof and fill up the gutters leaving the asphalt and fiberglass beneath the granules exposed to the elements.

    this is a hail impact to a shingle that shows the fiberglass matt

    In the top photo, you can see the discolored areas on shingles known as spatter. When you look closer, you can see that the granules are missing in some places and the asphalt, leaving the fiberglass exposed. The fiberglass mat is not water-resistant, allowing water to pass through the shingles, causing leaks.
