Hail damage identification requires professional expertise because Texas storms create subtle damage that worsens over time, eventually causing leaks and insurance complications. Phil the Roofer's 20+ years inspecting storm damage throughout Rockwall, Heath, Fate, and DFW helps homeowners identify problems before they become costly disasters that insurance companies later deny coverage for due to delayed reporting.
Visible Signs Homeowners Can Spot
While comprehensive hail damage assessment requires professional inspection, several indicators suggest your roof sustained storm damage requiring immediate attention. After DFW hail storms, check gutters for excessive granules (the small rock-like particles covering shingles), inspect siding for dents or cracks, and examine outdoor fixtures like mailboxes or AC units for impact marks. These ground-level clues often indicate more serious roof damage above.
- Excessive granule accumulation in gutters after storms
- Dented metal surfaces like gutters, flashing, or outdoor units
- Cracked or chipped paint on siding from hail impact
- Missing or cracked shingles visible from ground level
- Damaged outdoor fixtures indicating severe storm intensity
Hidden Damage That Requires Professional Detection
Most hail damage remains invisible to untrained eyes but causes progressive deterioration that leads to leaks and insurance headaches. Phil's detailed inspections include thermal imaging to detect moisture infiltration, close examination of shingle matting for exposed areas where granules were stripped, and documentation of fractures in shingle seals that allow water penetration. This hidden damage accelerates aging and voids manufacturer warranties if not properly addressed.
Insurance companies require damage documentation within specific timeframes after storms, often 30-90 days depending on your policy. Waiting too long allows companies to claim damage resulted from normal wear rather than covered storm events. Phil's free inspections include detailed photo documentation that satisfies insurance requirements and establishes storm damage for claims processing. Don't lose thousands in coverage due to delayed reporting. Call Phil immediately at 844-714-7445 for professional hail damage inspection after any DFW storm event.
