Understanding Hail Damage to Roofs

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

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

Unchecked hail damage often results in water infiltration and expensive repairs.

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: Damaged or clogged gutters often signal underlying hail damage.
  • Look for Missing Granules: Bald spots on shingles indicate hail has stripped away protective layers.
  • Assess the Attic: Check for water stains or moisture that might suggest roof leaks.

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

How to File a Claim for Hail Damage

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

  1. Document the Damage: Capture detailed images to provide your insurer with a comprehensive view of the damage.
  2. Contact Your Insurance Provider: Notify your insurer promptly and follow their guidelines for filing a claim.
  3. Work with a Roofing Contractor: A trusted contractor can provide the detailed report needed for your claim.

Partnering with professionals ensures your claim is thorough and accurate.
