Hail can devastate your roof. In fact, it causes millions of dollars in property damage every year. Many roofs that suffer from minor hail damage never undergo replacement or repairs, however, since it wasn’t detected before the problem escalated. This doesn’t have to be the case; homeowners with insurance policies can obtain compensation for hail-related roof damage.

SPC Construction & Roofing can help you file an insurance claim and work on your behalf to expedite its resolution. To protect the legitimacy of your claim, avoid the following:

Assuming Your Property Is Safe

Not all hail storms will damage your property. But since some hail storms can be heavier than others, it helps to pay attention to signs that could indicate that the storm is out of the ordinary. This includes large hailstones, heavily damaged trees, and longer-than-usual storms.

Get your roof inspected as soon as you can to make sure your roof didn’t sustain any damage. Failing to do so immediately after a hailstorm reduces your chances of getting maximum insurance claims.

Delaying Insurance Claim Filing

File a claim as soon as possible. It’s easier to remember the details of the event to establish when the damage has occurred, after all. Failing to provide the necessary information can lead to a denied claim. Furthermore, waiting too long can cause more extensive damage to your roof.

Failing to Take Minor Hail Damage Seriously

Don’t let minor hail damage dissuade you from filing a claim. Minor leaks could escalate quickly, compromise your home’s stability, and damage its interior.

Insurance companies cover all types roof or siding damage, no matter how minor it may seem. In fact, even cosmetic issues fall under your homeowner insurance policy.
