Texas Commercial Hail Damage Insurance Claims

Hail can damage and even decimate a flat roof.

Yes hail can even destroy “tar and gravel” roofs. We have extreme weather in Texas from El Paso to the Dallas Fort Worth metro-plex.

Hail damage can be hidden and cause your flat roof to leak down the road with no recourse with your insurance company. The problem is that hail damage isn’t always obvious to the naked eye, especially from ground level. There are a few signs though that your roof requires a closer inspection. First is to look at your air conditioning units, see if the core is damaged- if it is your flat roof may have hail damage.

Where to look for hail damage on your flat roof.

You should inspect the roof field and look for hail strikes and especailly at the wall kicker area, where the wall meets the roof line. this area is the weak poing and usually receives the most damage. If you have a “tar & gravel’ roof you will have to carefully move the gravel, brush away the dirt and inspect the actual surface locating individual hail strikes. This is usually done in a 10’x10’ area called a test square.

REMEMBER:  Your insurance company is under no compulsion to find hail damage just because hail may have been reported in your area and other buildings are getting new roofs. Each building is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If your adjuster does not find hail damage, you most likely will not get a new roof or have your roof restored.
