Effects of Hail on Roofs

Hail impacts can range from minor dents to severe damage, affecting both aesthetics and functionality.

Older roofs and extreme storm conditions can exacerbate the extent of damage.

Prompt attention to hail damage helps prevent further complications like leaks and mold.

How to Check for Hail Damage

After a hailstorm, inspecting your roof is crucial to spot potential issues early.

  • Check for Dents and Cracks: Inspect roof surfaces for dents, cracks, and other evidence of hail strikes.
  • Inspect Gutters and Downspouts: Hail damage to gutters is a common sign that the roof may also be affected.
  • Look for Missing Granules: Bald spots on shingles indicate hail has stripped away protective layers.
  • Assess the Attic: Watermarks in the attic often indicate a compromised roof after a hailstorm.

Note: Inspect from the ground or use binoculars to minimize safety risks.

Filing Insurance Claims

A properly filed insurance claim can cover the cost of restoring your hail-damaged roof.

  1. Document the Damage: Clear documentation of the damage is essential for insurance purposes.
  2. Contact Your Insurance Provider: Notify your insurer promptly and follow their guidelines for filing a claim.
  3. Work with a Roofing Contractor: Get a professional assessment to support your claim and plan repairs.

Collaborating with experts makes navigating insurance claims less stressful.
