Moss Roofing

The Impact of Granule Loss Last night, areas of Indiana like Marion, Lebanon, Kokomo, and Bloomington experienced large hail which can cause significant damage to your roof. After a hail event, you might notice an accumulation of small rocks in your gutters or at the base of your downspouts. These are protective granules. Their primary job is to shield the asphalt layer of your shingles from solar heat and weather. When hail knocks these loose, the shingle becomes "bald," leading to accelerated aging and potential leaks. Monitoring your gutters after a storm is a practical first step in determining if your roof requires a closer look.
