How To Spot Hail Damage After a Storm

No two hailstorms are alike and not every storm causes damage. How do you know when to call a professional? Here’s what to look for.

Hail is one of the most common types of severe weather that homeowners will face. In fact, our area gets 1-2 major storm events each year. As you probably know, each storm can vary in terms of size and duration – both of which can impact how much damage is done to your home.

We recommend homeowners to get a roof inspection after every major hailstorm to prevent costly future repairs. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry! But we also know that not all hailstorms are alike and not every storm will cause damage.
Start with a ground-level inspection after the storm. Check your gutters, downspouts, siding, window screens, outdoor equipment, and vehicles for fresh dents or impact marks. Photograph anything unusual, note the date of the storm, and contact a professional if you see damage or are unsure what you’re looking at.

Don’t Risk Not Knowing If Your Roof Has Hail Damage

​Most homeowners don’t know how much damage can be caused by even a “small” storm. Damage will get worse over time and lead to costly (but preventable!) repairs. A careful ground-level inspection can help you recognize when it is time to call a professional and protect your home and your wallet!
