After a hailstorm, you and your neighbors might start to suspect some level of hail damage on rooftops in your area. There are a couple ways that you can check for hail damage on roofs, some of which are actually quite simple.
The first thing you need to consider when assessing hail damage on roofs is how big the hail during the storm actually was. It is always worth it to check on your roof for any damage even in the case of smaller sizes of hail. However, the bigger the chunks of hail falling from the sky at terminal velocity, the more chance you have for severe damage to occur on your roof.
It is possible, especially in some of the more dramatic cases seen with exceptionally large sizes of hail, to observe damage to your roof from the ground, especially using tools such as binoculars in order to see better. In addition, if you have an attic or some other part of your home close to the top of the roof, you can sometimes identify damage by observing places where there may be new leaks or shafts of sunlight breaking through your roof.
However, it can sometimes be difficult to identify damage, even when it has been caused by severe hailstorms. For that reason, it is generally recommended to allow professionals like the ones here at Kerrville Roofing Inc. to safely access your roof and assess the hail damage ourselves in order to ensure thorough and timely support for any damage that needs to be addressed.
