Carroll County and the surrounding areas recently experienced a severe hailstorm that left many homeowners assessing damage to their properties. Reports indicated hailstones up to golf ball size, accompanied by wind gusts reaching 70 mph. These conditions led to significant damage to roofs, siding, windows, and vehicles across the region.
Understanding Hail Damage
Hail can cause both visible and hidden damage to your home’s exterior. While dents and cracks are apparent, underlying issues like compromised roofing materials or water infiltration may not be immediately noticeable. Over time, these hidden damages can lead to leaks, mold growth, and structural deterioration.
Signs Your Home May Have Hail Damage
- Roofing Issues: Look for missing shingles, granule loss, or soft spots.
- Siding Damage: Check for cracks, holes, or warping.
- Window and Frame Damage: Inspect for cracks or broken seals.
- Gutter Problems: Look for dents or detachment from the house.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to address them promptly to prevent further damage.
Steps to Take After a Hailstorm
- Document the Damage: Take clear photos of all affected areas.
- Contact Your Insurance Provider: Report the damage and initiate a claim.
- Schedule a Professional Inspection: Even if damage isn’t visible, a professional can identify hidden issues.
- Avoid Temporary Fixes: While it might be tempting to make quick repairs, improper fixes can lead to more significant problems later.
