Hail Damage Roof Repair in Tucson and the Surrounding Areas

Arizona is often hit by strong storms, and sometimes those storms bring hail to the Tucson area. Like other types of severe storms, hail storms can inflict significant damage to your roof. Blue Mountain Roofing recommends hiring a roofing contractor to undertake a thorough roof inspection to check for any hail damage. It’s always best to repair or replace hail damaged roofs right away, rather than allow the problem to get worse over time.

Signs of Hail Damage on Your Roof

Hail ranges in size, and the size of the hail is directly related to the severity of damage it can cause. Relatively small hailstones might only damage the plants around your home. However, hailstones the size of a half dollar (1.25-inch diameter) can inflict minor damage on roofs and siding. Hailstones that are the size of a walnut (1.5-inch diameter) or larger can cause major damage to your building. Along with the size of the hailstones, other factors that can affect the amount of damage include wind speed and direction, the type of roofing material, the slope of the roof, and the age of the roof. At Blue Mountain Roofing, we’ve repaired the following types of hail damage on roofs:

Bruising:

It can be difficult to spot bruising from the ground. You’ll likely need to schedule a roof inspection to see if any asphalt shingles require replacement.

Loss of Structural Integrity:

Hail and strong winds can compromise the shingles’ seal, which can cause the shingles to loosen and fall off.

Granule loss:

If you have an asphalt shingle roof, keep an eye on your gutters and downspouts to see if you’re losing a significant volume of granules from the shingles. Shingles that lose too much of their granules are susceptible to accelerated aging. This leads to roof leaks.

Why You Should Never Forgo Hail Damage Roof Repair

Roof damage caused by hail is more than merely cosmetic. Even if the damage seems relatively minor at first, if left unaddressed, it can turn into a major problem. Unrepaired hail storm damage can lead to leaky roofs and costly water damage. Eventually, you might need a complete roof replacement. It’s vastly preferable to get the hail damage repaired right away, rather than wait for it to get worse.

When ignored or overlooked, hail damage can lead to roof leaks or ice dams, eventually leading to mold damage, electrical short circuits, or wood rotting. Wood rot and mold can easily spiral out of control, causing severe damage. These damages are expensive and time consuming. Being proactive and calling in a roofing contractor for immediate roof inspection after a hail storm can save you thousands of dollars and help keep your home safe.

Does homeowners insurance cover the damage caused by hail storms?

Homeowners insurance should cover any form of hail damage and any other roof damage caused by extreme weather conditions like strong winds, tornados, tree fall, etc. If your roof has experienced hail hits, and you suspect damage to your roof, you should get in touch with your insurance company immediately and file a claim.
