Inspect your roof promptly after a storm: Any storm or wind alone can damage a roof, so the sooner you inspect the roof after a storm the better you can avoid leak damage inside the home, and if an insurance claim for roof damage is warranted, the better will be the data you can provide in support of your claim.
Inspect your roof gutters: before and after a storm. If the gutters were clean and after the storm they are loaded with mineral granules you have strong evidence of roof wear and damage due to the hail storm.
Inspect your roof regularly, annually would be ideal, so that you can find and fix damage before it becomes a more costly leak. If you inspect the roof regularly you then can have information to compare with the condition of the roof after a severe storm - you can document when damage occurred and can establish that damage was or was not present before a particular storm.
Most importantly, if you feel your roof or gutters have been impacted by a storm, call a professional Marietta roofer to evaluate the damage. Babcock Roofing Pros, Atlanta roofing, offers FREE inspections and will help you by dealing directly with your insurance company.
