Roof Hail Damage
Hailstorms in North Myrtle Beach can cause severe damage to residential and commercial property. The damage that can be caused by hailstorms can sometimes be severe when combined with high winds and heavy snowfall.
You may not know what to do after a hailstorm because our climate is so unpredictable and weather events can occur seemingly out of nowhere. There are steps you can take to protect your investment in the property after a severe weather event such as a hailstorm. These steps will ensure that your insurance company reimburses you for any losses.
These are the Five Things to Do After the Storm Has Passed
These steps will help you determine if it is safe to go outside to assess the damage.
1. Take your camera out and take a walk around the property. Hailstorms can cause severe damage to trees by sending heavy, large branches down onto anything below. Look out for falling debris damage in addition to the obvious hail damage.
Take photos of everything and then upload them to the cloud. Many insurance companies also offer apps that allow you to do this. Pay special attention to your water management system's gutters, downspouts, and flashing.
2. Remove broken glass and other potential hazards. Broken windows and fallen tree branches can pose a danger. When restoring your property to safety, take care. After you have completed step 1, document the damage.
3. Stop roof leaks temporarily Even severe hailstorms can cause roof damage that may lead to leaks. NMB Roofing Pros can perform temporary repairs in order to avoid further damage that may not have been covered by your insurance. Insurance policies often require that the insured take action to prevent further damage from occurring after a loss. Failure to do so can lead to mold, wood decay, and other expensive problems that might not be covered.
4. Contact your insurance company. It's best to start working on your insurance claims immediately after a storm. Once you have assessed the damage to your property and made sure that it is water-resistant, contact your insurance company immediately and begin the claims process.
For automobile insurance, almost all comprehensive plans include hail damage coverage. If you have comprehensive auto coverage then hail damage to your vehicle should be covered fully (after your deductible).
5. NMB Roofing Pros can provide an evaluation on the spot if there are any roof problems or damage to exterior surfaces. This is the most crucial step after a hailstorm. Many homeowners and business owners do not think about partnering with a North Myrtle Beach roofing contractor before they meet with their insurance adjuster. This is not recommended.
The insurance adjuster may not have any experience in roof repair and might not be able to locate damaged areas that trained roofing technicians could. NMB Roofing Pros will be there to evaluate your roof and exteriors for hailstorm damage.
