Evidence of Hail Damage

On the day after a hail storm the evidence has normally melted away, but there are outward signs that damage has occurred. Knowing what these signs are help give building owners notice that maybe the insurance company should be called. At Eclat Roofing in Dallas, TX, we all too often hear from a building owner only after additional preventable damage has occurred.

In the case of this aluminum attic vent cover hail signs are obvious. Damage to the roof surface is hard to see from the ground. Knowing when to call a professional to inspect your roof is the key to protecting your property from further damage. Filing for an insurance claim promptly is important during a catastrophic storm because of the amount of time that it may actually take to get your property repaired.

Very Informative Blog. I too got my hail damaged once. Then I repaired it with the help of Ranger Roofing. Their service is really excellent.

If that hail comes ala cats and dogs, you need to have your roof check. Those are like fist-sized stones attacking your roofs! The only difference is that they can penetrate your inside walls, while stones cannot. That's why extra care should be a must.
