A storm event report documents the specifics of a weather event — hail size, wind speed, storm track — using data from the National Weather Service and proprietary weather databases. Contractors and public adjusters use these reports to support insurance claims by tying documented damage to a specific event.

After a significant weather event, look for missing or displaced shingles, granule accumulation in gutters, dented ridge cap or flashing, and interior water stains. Not all damage is visible from the ground — a professional post-storm inspection identifies the full picture.

Hail below about 1 inch in diameter typically doesn't cause functional damage to standard architectural shingles. Larger hail creates impact patterns that displace granules and expose the asphalt mat. Existing granule loss from aging makes roofs more vulnerable to smaller hail impacts.

Yes, if the damage was caused by a covered peril — typically wind, hail, lightning, or fallen trees. Get a professional inspection first to document the damage before contacting your carrier. Check your policy for deductibles and any filing window.

Most homeowners policies allow 1-3 years from the date of the storm event to file a claim. Earlier is better — damage documentation is stronger when tied closely to the weather event. Check your specific policy language for the filing window.

Many policies in storm-prone states have separate wind and hail deductibles expressed as a percentage of the home's insured value — typically 1-5%. On a $300,000 home with a 2% deductible, you'd pay $6,000 out of pocket before insurance covers storm damage.

Insurance covers sudden damage from discrete events (storms). Wear and tear — gradual aging, deferred maintenance, normal deterioration — is not covered. Adjusters assess damage as storm-caused or pre-existing, and the distinction determines coverage.

Contain any interior water intrusion with buckets and plastic, photograph visible damage from the ground, contact a licensed local roofing contractor for a professional assessment before calling your insurance carrier, and keep records of all communications.

A supplemental claim adds scope or cost items to an initially approved insurance scope that were missed or underpriced by the adjuster. Supplements are filed during the claims process before final settlement and require documentation supporting the added items.

Being present during the adjuster inspection is highly recommended. You can point out documented damage, provide your contractor's independent assessment, and ensure all affected components are visible and reviewed.

Actual Cash Value (ACV) pays the depreciated value of the damaged components. Replacement Cost Value (RCV) pays the cost to replace with equivalent new materials. RCV policies produce higher payouts but typically release the depreciation holdback after the work is completed.

Yes. Water infiltration from storm damage creates wet conditions in the roof assembly and interior finishes where mold can establish within 24-72 hours. Prompt emergency response limits the window for mold development.
