Hey there, fellow Texan! If you’re reading this, you’ve probably experienced the wrath of our state’s unpredictable weather. Last week, we had a hailstorm that could make a grown man cry. I mean, golf-ball-sized hail? That’s Texas for you! But did you know that these hailstorms can cause severe damage to your residential and commercial roofs? Let’s dive into what you should know and how to protect your property.
The Silent Damage
Hailstorms, especially the ones with golf-ball-sized hail, can wreak havoc on your property. But here’s the kicker – sometimes, you don’t even know it’s happened. The damage can be so subtle that it goes unnoticed until it becomes a bigger problem. For instance, your roof shingles might be damaged, but you won’t realize it until you start experiencing leaks. And guess what? If you don’t notice the damage in time, your insurance company might wash their hands of it, leaving you to foot the bill for repairs. Yikes!
The Action Plan
So, what should you do after a hailstorm to ensure you’re not left out in the cold (or, in this case, the rain)? First things first, assess your property for damage. Pay extra attention to the roof, any discoloration or staining on your ceiling, and your outside air conditioning unit. Don’t forget to take pictures and document all the damage. Remember, the insurance company only owes what you can prove.
Next, call in the experts. An experienced Public Adjuster or a credible roofing contractor can help determine if your property has been damaged and needs repair. National Claims Negotiators are pros for insurance claims and can provide top-notch service to get your property back to its pre-storm glory.
It is essential to file an insurance claim ASAP. Damage caused by hailstorms can be subjective and hard to prove, which gives insurance companies an excuse to deny or underpay your claim. Reporting your claim quickly after a storm helps ensure you get a fair settlement.
“Hired Wes Smith from NCN to go to battle with our insurance company (Travelers) which had originally approved only half of the roof replacement after all our neighbors had their roofs replaced from hail damage! Wes was able to get the insurance company to approve a full roof replacement as well as fixing other damages (gutters, fence, pergola). Would highly recommend NCN and Wes and would use them again if we are ever in the same situation again!”
