Hail can fall from the sky as very small or very large pieces, but every bit of the damage it inflicts is significant when it happens to your home. VersaPro is prepared to address hail damage and whatever complications develop from a hailstorm through effective, immediate, hail damage restorations. Our goals are to stop additional problems from developing and get your property back to normal as soon as possible.
How Much Damage Can Hail Cause?
Hailstorms typically occur during heavy rains when the temperature drops and the water particles form chunks of ice. Some hailstones can damage your property far more significantly than others. It depends on:
- The size of the hailstones
- The speed of the wind
- The duration of the storm
- If your home has existing damage
- The materials your home is made of
Areas of Exterior Hail Damage
Hailstones can create dents, holes, and cracks all over your home. Anything on the exterior of your home is susceptible to hail damage, particularly:
- The roof: Shingles can lose granules or be split, broken, or pulled off entirely.
- Siding: Paint and protective coatings can be stripped off, chipped, or cracked.
- Rain gutters: Gutters and downspouts can be bent and dinged.
- Windows: Cracks can occur or hail can go straight through the glass.
Problems Caused by Hail Damage
Hail isn’t something you can prepare for, not even meteorologists can always predict the way Mother Nature will change up the temperature and cause hail to form. Problems can come your way and, if they do, getting hail damage restoration right away is key to minimize damage and cost.
- Water damage: If your roof is broken or a window cracked and a storm is raging outside, water damage can result. Whether water is dripping or pouring into your house, attic, or crawl spaces, moisture and mold can build up and lead to serious side effects for the structure of your home and your health.
- Structural damage: Hail is accompanied by wind and rain, and those phenomena can cause their own structural damages to your home in the form of downed trees, a torn roof, ripped walls, pulled up fencing, and more.
- Cosmetic issues: Don’t be surprised to find dents from hail in siding, window frames, exposed metal surfaces (like outdoor AC units), decking, and other painted surfaces.
