Hail Damage Detection

Insurance Companies have criteria that vary from 7 - 13 hits (or impacts) per square (100 sq. ft of roofing). Adjusters will mark and photograph the amount of hits per square on at least (2) slopes of the roof, sometimes more. Other factors become involved and actually vary across the duration of a claim period.

• Hail can range in size and severity and so can the damage they cause. Unless the marks are 100% visible, there is no ‘cut and dry’ hail damage insurance claim.
• Hail damage can cause problems over time rather than right away which means that your shingles may look okay now but the damage will not be experienced until later.
• Illinois hail damage is a common issue and thus the insurance companies have several ways to get out of compensation. In order to make a claim, you need to provide evidence, documentation and an inspection from a roofing contractor.
• Hail damage can leave your shingles cracked which, over time, can lead to leaking problems as well as mold and mildew issues.

Hail damage is a common complaint across Illinois and it is no wonder with the extremity of our weather. In some instances hail storms can bring hail the size of baseballs which can cause damage to all sorts of household items. When it comes to dealing with hail damage caused to your roofing system, you need to act fast and act smart. Hail damage is often covered by your insurance company but you need to provide them with the right evidence to get the compensation you deserve.
Look for the following indications that your roof and structures have been damaged by hail. If you notice any of the following, take a picture of the damage (no matter how trivial it may seem) and contact a TyJax hail damage specialist for further instruction:
Collateral damage including car dents, broken windows, broken skylights and tree damage. This damage around your home can indicate that your roof also took a beating.
Tears or indents in the shingles – check the hips, ridges and sides of your shingles to see if hail has damaged them. A tear may seem like nothing now but it can result in mold and mildew problems as well as leaking issues down the road.
Excessive granule loss – your shingles are made up of tiny granules that protect your roof. Check the gutters, the ground and other areas for excessive granules. A loss of these granules means a loss in the lifespan of your shingles.
