Kingwood Roofing | Premier Roofing Services
Each year, hail is responsible for millions of dollars in roof damage. One of the most common myths about hail is that it has to be big to damage your home. However, even small hailstones can cause a lot of roof damage. If your roof was hit with hail last month, you should have it checked out by a reliable Kingwood roofing contractor.
One-inch-sized hailstones and smaller ones fall at speeds up to 20 miles per hour and larger-sized hail can hit speeds up to 100 miles per hour. At those kinds of speeds, hail can be fatal. Seeing hail damage can be difficult for the average person, so we have some tips on what to do once the storm is gone. However, the best thing to do is to call your local Kingwood roof repair pro and have them look at it.
Document Everything | Safety Comes First
After the storm is gone, inspect your property for damage;
- Broken glass
- Dings, dents, or cracks in your siding
- Dented and broken gutters and downspouts
- Granules from deteriorated roof shingles accumulated in the gutters
- Basement flooding
Take pictures and record all of the damage you find. If hail is still present on your roof be sure to include pictures of it. Be careful about going up on your roof. The safer option is to contact a local Kingwood roofer for a free inspection.
