| What is Hail Damage? |
| Hail is large frozen balls of rain that is often produced by thunderstorms. This is a common occurrence in Indiana in the spring and early summer. When large hail and strong winds combine, they can cause devastating damage to your home and property. Your roof, siding, gutters, and windows are especially impacted by hail. Damage may look like someone has beaten small dents in your siding to as severe as large holes |

| How did Hail damage my roof? |
| Hail can hit hard and has been known to break windows and dent shingles and destroy siding. Hail can cause soft spots, dents or bruising to your roof. In some cases, the hail will break all the way through the roof, which may allow water to infiltrate you home. Hail will also often cause dents or marks on the metal roof flashing and venting system. Hail damage is sometimes difficult to see if you do not know what you are looking for. If you think you have sustained hail damage, we will be happy to provide you with a free inspection. Don’t wait to find out how much damage it's caused until it is too late! |

| How did Hail damage my siding and gutters? |
| Vinyl siding will normally show breaks, cracks, or holes. Aluminum siding will often have dents in it. Dents visible from hail on your siding are often cosmetic, but in most cases are still covered by insurance. Hail can dent or even put holes in your gutters or in some cases pull the gutters away from your home. |
| What will Hail Damage do? |
| Hail Damage can cause your roofing system to need to be replaced sooner than needed. It can reduce the value of your home. Hail damage will allow water to seep through your roof into your ceilings and walls. This can cause many thousands of dollars of damage that may not be covered by insurance. This will also cause mold to grow, which is a health risk for you and your family. Most hail damage is covered by homeowners insurance. If you have had a recent hail storm, it is worth the time to have your home inspected. |
