Hail Damage Restoration
Common Property Damages by a Hailstorm
Any part of your building that is exposed to the outdoors is prone to damage by hailstorms. However, the following parts of a building are most susceptible:
- Roof: The stones will usually hit the surface of your roof continuously and cause damages that could require extensive repairs or a replacement. Hail dents on metal roofs are quite visible, which might not be the case with shingled or flat roofs.
- Windows: Hailstorms can break windows, which will increase the risk of the stones hitting the interior space of your house. Fixing a broken window is the most important repair that needs to be done after the storm passes to protect your home from water damage.
- Siding: If the force of the wind is fierce during a storm, the wind can tear apart or scrap the sidings of your house. Siding damage can lead to leaks, so careful inspection after a storm is necessary.
- Other key areas: Although generally less severe, your chimneys and flue vents can be impacted by hailstorms. However, the harm done to these parts is mostly insignificant with minor dents or scratches.
