Assessing Hail Damage: What You Need to Know

Hail storms can cause significant damage to your roof, which can compromise the structural integrity of your home. At Trojan Roofing, we recommend a thorough inspection after any severe hail event to accurately assess the extent of the damage and to plan the necessary repairs or replacement.

Importance of Professional Roof Inspections

Expert Evaluation: Hail can vary in size and impact, making professional assessments crucial. A roofing expert can determine the extent of hail damage, from minor cosmetic issues to major breaches that might lead to leaks.

What to Expect from an Inspection

Detailed Examination: During an inspection, a roofing specialist will look for telltale signs of hail impact, such as dents on shingles or gutters, cracked tiles, or exposed substrate. They will document all findings to support any insurance claims.

Immediate Action

Prevent Further Damage: If hail damage is confirmed, it’s important to act quickly to make repairs. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, such as water infiltration, which can escalate repair costs significantly.

Conclusion

Hail damage should not be taken lightly as it can lead to more serious issues if not addressed promptly. If you suspect your roof has been damaged by hail, contact a professional roofing contractor to conduct a comprehensive inspection and make the necessary repairs.
