Severe weather can strike any time here in Texas, and when it does, you may find yourself holding your breath …
The weather in Central Texas can bring it all – intense heat, severe storms, tornados and even hail. Your roof needs to withstand all these elements, but sometimes Mother Nature is just too much.
If you experience hail damage to your Austin home, it’s important to repair it quickly. Vulnerable roofs are prone to leaks and once your roof is leaking, the damage can quickly escalate to more areas of your house (for more about what happens if your roof is leaking, you can read on here).
One of the first things to do after a hailstorm passes through your area is to assess for damage. Here are a few signs to look for:
Even small hailstones can damage a roof, so it’s important to have your roof professionally inspected after a storm rolls through. If your roof is damaged, you’ll want to call your insurance company right away too. Depending on your policy, homeowners insurance typically covers roof damage from hail.
Ignoring roof damage of any kind can lead to more expensive issues down the road, like mold or electrical problems, so it’s always wise to take preventive action as much as possible when it comes to something as important as your roof.
If you have questions about storm damage or need a roof inspection after a hailstorm passes through (or any time, for that matter), please get in touch with our team of experts at Storm Guard of SW Austin.
