Do I need storm damage restoration company?
Heavy storms often bring torrential rain, hail and high winds which can wreak havoc on homes and businesses. Property owners are often faced with the daunting task of hiring roofers, siding companies and glass companies to inspect and repair the damage. Our team of experienced property damage restoration specialists can mitigate water intrusion and security concerns as well provide you with a detailed estimate for ALL the repair work.

After a severe storm, depending on the size/density of hail, force of wind, and amount of rainfall, your damaged exterior could leave you vulnerable. Broken windows are a security risk that could compromise your belongings and your safety. Damaged roof and siding, particularly if ignored, allows water to compromise your structure leading to interior including water damage, mold and other structural issues.

Answering Your Storm Damage Restoration Questions
Do I have hail damage if my roof isn't leaking?
Many homeowners and business owners view hailstorm damage through the lens of a “leak test.” If they experience a leak, that’s when they take the threat of damage seriously and call their insurance company to file a claim. Leaks don’t need to be evident, however, for there to be damage to your roof. This is especially true when the hail coming down has been of a considerable size. If you believe there’s been damage, survey the roof yourself or call on the help of a professional.
What steps should I take immediately after a storm?
Following a storm that resulted in hail damage, here are the steps you should take right away:
- Write down the date and time of the hailstorm, and be sure to indicate when you believe the damage occurred.
- Take photos of your property, including your home, yard, outdoor HVAC unit, and vehicles, focusing on any damage the storm caused.
- Check for damage to your roof, such as missing or torn shingles.
- Take pictures of a piece of hail next to a common object so that its size is evident.

Is storm damage covered by my insurance policy?
According to Allstate, most homeowners insurance does cover hail damage to homes, but there are some exceptions. In states with a lot of hail storms, like Colorado, it is possible that your insurance provider will have chosen not to cover wind and hail, in which case you will want to look into getting a policy specific to these types of damages. Additionally, some policies do not cover damage that is only cosmetic.
The key is to know what exactly your insurance company covers, and to discuss the policy with them if you have any questions. One important question to ask is whether your premium will rise as a result of having filed a claim. According to insurance.com, “since weather damage isn’t caused by your negligence, your insurer typically won’t hike your rate. However, your rate may increase if you’ve filed a claim within the three previous years, and the hail claim is your second.”
The insurance claim specialists at Abbotts can help you navigate these questions with your insurance company.
