Do I Have Hail Damage?  .  .  .   .  .  .  What Does It Look Like?

Trust Us For your Hail Damage Inspections, Repairs and Insurance Claims Filings

If you have been in hailstorm the most obvious damage you see is to cars.  You see the damage immediately after the last ice nugget has fallen.

You're horrified because the once smooth surface is now riddled with dents and pits.

Most people do not ever consider that their home was damaged as well.

Your roof is as susceptible to hail damage as the hood of your car. When hail hits your roof it creates a bruise. This bruise may have even cracked the fiberglass membrane and can allow water to seep into your home. It may not leak the day after the storm but over time it will happen.

Composition Shingles

It's difficult to determine whether a shingled roof needs to be replaced after a hail storm because the damage is not readily evident. 

Our hail damage specialists are specially trained and experienced to determine the damage and make corrective action.

We check the entire roof structure and gutter system. If we see a large amount of granules reroofing would be a consideration.

Granules aren't just for appearance purposes, they're there to protect the asphalt based roof product (the shingle). It doesn't take much of a hail storm to dislodge a bunch of granules, thereby exposing the asphalt and shortening the service life of your roof. 

If your roof went through a hail storm but no damage was readily visible but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. If enough granules were knocked loose, the sun will hit the exposed asphalt further damaging the roof and underlayment.   The exposed asphalt will deteriorate and more granules will come loose. In a few months and after a few rains, the damage will be readily evident.

Many times hail storms produce visible damage, but beware, only a trained roofing hail damage specialist can uncover the real damage! 

WATER

Water damage to a home or business is specific to the structure, loss, contents, and particular needs and circumstances of the owners.  Most companies take a cart blanch approach to the loss.  We formulate a plan by assembling expert teams and customizing personnel, material, supplies and equipment in completing the remedy of the loss for your exact needs, efficiently and as quickly as possible.

Down time is down time, whether a home or business. Your living or working environment is destroyed, damaged, and perhaps unlivable until reconstruction is completed. 

This overall project management is critical to the success of each disaster restoration project and is a corporate mandate for all projects we are involved with.

Moisture Testing

We have the equipment and personnel to check and test damaged areas to industry standards to assess the water damage for treatment, repair, or replacement of the effected materials.  Evaluation and testing is required to quantify the extent of the damage. 

Moisture Removal

Removing water means moisture as well. Drying the structure requires specialized personnel, standards, dryers, dehumidifiers, removing portions of the structure to get to the cracks and crevices holding moisture that may cause future damage and health issues. Bringing structure moisture levels to an acceptable level allows a plan of action for treatment, repair, removal, or replacement of construction components to pre- damage condition.

Content and Furnishing

Before your dwelling or business can be refurbished the contents and furnishings may need treatment as well.  From antiques and heirlooms to family rugs and children’s toys, these items may need to be sorted, moved, cleaned, and treated to restore them to pre-damage condition.
