Hail Storm Damage
Hail Storm Damage
Is My Roof Damaged?
If a hail storm has recently rolled through the St. Louis area, you may be wondering if your roof has suffered hail damage that requires repair. Or you may have roof damage that is visible to the naked eye like pitting, missing or peeled shingles.
It’s important to inspect your roof and property for damage right away, before potential leaks have a chance to cause more expensive structural damage. A roof leak can cause hidden interior damage or mold, that you may not be able to see with the naked eye until it has grown into a much bigger problem. The best way to determine for sure if you have roof damage is to bring in an expert roofing contractor for a full roof assessment.
Prompt roof inspection after a hail storm is also essential as you may qualify for home insurance claim, but most insurance companies allow a certain amount of time for the initial claim to be placed. If your roof has been damaged by a storm, hail wind, water, or trees, you may qualify for an insurance claim. See our helpful tips on insurance claims below!
