After a hail storm, you may need roof repair service. Even if you can’t spot obvious damage, a closer look often reveals issues that need to be addressed. Your best bet in this situation is to contact a local roofing company to schedule an inspection. They’ll confirm whether or not your roofing is in good shape.

Before calling the experts, you can feel free to get up on a safe ladder and check your gutters on your own. If there are significant dents in them that weren’t there before the hail storm, this serves as a clear indication that your shingles have also been harmed.  

While you may not be able to see any cracks or other major signs of damage, hail impacts can weaken your shingles and loosen granules of material from them as well. Often, these granules collect in a gutter — you’ll know them by their grayish/black color.

If you spot either or both of these warning signs, get in touch with a roof repair expert for an inspection. Don’t give in to the urge to get all the way up on your roof to check for further damage on your own. First of all, there are safety risks to consider. In addition, only an expert will know how to identify the more subtle indications of damage.

Along with a roofing company, you also want to call your insurance provider immediately after a hail storm to ask about filing a claim. They’ll let you know what steps you need to take, should you find yourself in need of roof repair service.
