Damage to your shingles from hail can be difficult to spot. Even seemingly insignificant damage can cause deterioration of the roof covering. Over time, this may allow water to get under the roof covering and into your home. Always schedule a professional roof inspection after a hail storm. Also, always schedule a roof inspection after a significant wind event which could bend or remove a few shingles. Although you believe the damage is minimal at the time, it causes the underlayment of your roof to rapidly loose is efficacy and, if you wait, you may have prejudiced your insurance claim.
Your roof may have sustained damage if your neighborhood has roofs being redone or if your neighbors have visible damage. If your neighborhood roofs were damaged in a storm, there exists a good chance your roof was negatively affected by the Storm and repair or replacement may be necessary. Again, if you wait, you may negatively impact your ability to have the repair or replacement of your storm damaged roof covered by your insurance claim.
Do not forget, always have a professional roofer or roofing storm damage expert perform the inspection. Our office would be happy to refer you to a professional in your area. Feel free to give us a call.
