Assessing Hail Damage To Your Property
Hail damage isn't always obvious. While large hailstones leave visible dents, smaller hail can cause hidden damage to shingles, underlayment, and seals that worsens over time if not addressed.
- Check gutters for granule accumulation from damaged shingles
- Look for dents in metal surfaces like vents, flashing, and gutters
- Inspect siding and window frames for impact marks
- Check outdoor AC units and other equipment for damage
- Examine window screens and exterior paint for evidence
Understanding Hail Size And Damage Correlation
The size of hailstones directly correlates to the type and severity of damage they can cause. Even half-inch hail can remove protective granules from shingles, reducing their lifespan.
At Select Adjusters, we maintain records of every storm in the area for the past eight years, including hail size, wind speed, and documented damage patterns. This data strengthens your claim significantly.
Filing Your Hail Damage Claim
Time is critical when filing a hail damage claim. Most insurance policies have deadlines for reporting damage, and the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the damage was caused by a specific storm.
Contact Select Adjusters as soon as possible after a hail storm. We'll conduct a free inspection, document all damage, and file your claim to maximize your settlement.
