How Hail Impacts Your Roof

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

Factors like hail size and roof condition determine how much damage is inflicted.

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

Inspecting Your Roof After a Hailstorm

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

  • 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: Granule loss on shingles can compromise your roof’s ability to repel water.
  • Assess the Attic: Check for water stains or moisture that might suggest roof leaks.

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

Filing Insurance Claims

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

  1. Document the Damage: Capture detailed images to provide your insurer with a comprehensive view of the damage.
  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.
