Signs That Hail Has Damaged Your Home’s Roof or Siding

Your home insurance policy will likely cover damage to your home’s roof or siding caused by hail. Unfortunately, one of the things that we at Paragon Independent Insurance Agency, serving the greater Plano, TX area, have seen is that many homeowners often do not know what the signs are that hail has damaged the siding or roof of their home. As such, they do not file a claim and do not get their house repaired. Here are a few of the key signs that hail may have damaged your home’s roof or siding. 

There Are Dents In Your Siding or Roof

If hail has damaged your roof or siding, it will likely leave dents behind. If you notice indentation marks on your roof or siding after a hail storm, you should have a professional inspect your roof and siding to see how extensive the damage is and whether repairs are needed. 

You See Cracks or Chips in Your Siding or Roofing Materials

Another sign that hail may have damaged your roofing or siding materials is that cracks or chips are present. If you see chips or cracks, you know that hail has damaged these materials. 

You Experience Water Leaks After a Hail Storm

Finally, if water leaks into your home after a hail storm, your siding or roofing has been damaged. Repairs are needed to fix the roofing or siding damage.
