How Hail Impacts Your Roof

When hail strikes, it often results in dents, cracks, and worn-out shingles that threaten your roof’s durability.

The severity of damage depends on hail size, wind speed, and the age of your roofing materials.

Ignoring hail damage can lead to costly leaks and structural issues over time.

Inspecting Your Roof After a Hailstorm

A thorough post-storm inspection can reveal hail damage before it worsens.

  • Check for Dents and Cracks: Look closely at shingles and metal parts for signs of damage from hail.
  • Inspect Gutters and Downspouts: Damaged or clogged gutters often signal underlying hail damage.
  • Look for Missing Granules: Shingles missing granules are a telltale sign of hail damage.
  • Assess the Attic: Watermarks in the attic often indicate a compromised roof after a hailstorm.

Note: When in doubt, leave roof inspections to qualified professionals.

Navigating Roof Insurance After Hail Damage

If your roof shows signs of hail damage, filing an insurance claim can ease repair costs.

  1. Document the Damage: Clear documentation of the damage is essential for insurance purposes.
  2. Contact Your Insurance Provider: Reach out to your insurance company as soon as possible after identifying damage.
  3. Work with a Roofing Contractor: A trusted contractor can provide the detailed report needed for your claim.

An experienced roofer simplifies the claims process with detailed documentation.
