Commercial Roof Inspections in Belle Fourche & Western South Dakota for Wind and Hail Damage Insurance Claims After Storm on June 12, 2022

Extreme high wind and hail storms inflicted heavy property and roof damage in Belle Fourche and Western South Dakota on Sunday, June 12th. Storm chasers went on the record calling the massive ice that smashed agricultural and commercial buildings “gorillas.” RestoreMasters has emergency roof repair crews in Butte County, S.D., to accelerate wind and hail damage insurance claims and provide commercial roof inspection services.

“A few ranches and buildings, some sustained literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. Roofs off homes blew apart buildings, collapsed barns, tipped over semis that were parked with heavy trailers on them and just flipped them over,” Butte County Sheriff and emergency manager Fred Lamphere reportedly told South Dakota Public Broadcasting. “So, it was pretty intense. We’re still assessing all the infrastructure-type damage. It’s just going to be a couple of days to start putting everything back together.”

Western South Dakota property owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. Wind and hail damage to roofing systems allow debris and moisture to penetrate buildings, inviting water damage and hazardous mold growths.

A local high wind and hailstorm damage map confirms emergency roofing services are needed in Butte Fourche and across Western South Dakota. At least four overlapping hailstorms blanketed the region, stretching across the Wyoming border into the Badlands.

Long yellow swaths across the wind and hail damage map show ice up to 1.25 inches peppering areas. The light orange sections point to hail up to 1.75 inches, with the darker orange highlighting hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter. But the purple concentrations are where “gorilla” hail devastated neighborhoods and business districts in Belle Fourche, and a prompt commercial roof inspection may be sorely needed.

Severe storms, bringing hail, strong winds, or tornadoes can cause severe roof damage, by ripping off roofing systems.

Older roofs are susceptible to severe wind damage, by winds as low as 50 mph.

The intensity of roof damage is determined by various factors: the velocity and impact of flying debris, the quality of the original installation, the building height and location in relation to other buildings, the angle and shape of the roof, and the material used on the roof.

Getting a roof inspection & property damage assessment after severe weather like this is important for determining whether you need to address roof damage from hail or high winds.

If roof leaks do occur, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can stop leaks with tarping or shrink wrapping, where affected areas (or the entire roof) are covered with a durable shrink-wrapped plastic membrane till permanent repairs can take place. That way you can prevent mold growth from water intrusion.

Get your roof inspected, even if you think there is no problem, especially if your property falls anywhere within the area of the hail and wind damage map.

Symptoms of storm damage problems do not always show up immediately.

And deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
