Commercial Roof Inspection Services For Central Arkansas Hail Damage Insurance Claims After October 15, 2022 Storm
Commercial Roofing & Restoration
A herd of fast-moving hailstorms trampled Central Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 15th, as commercial roof inspection services and repair specialists support property owners who sustain damage. Multiple storm fronts caused widespread roof hail damage that left commercial, agricultural, and institutional buildings leaking. RestoreMasters has field teams ready to assist with emergency roof repair efforts or conduct thorough inspections to support an insurance claim. Property owners that took hail strikes can contact the roof repair office in Tulsa, OK.
“A band of storms dropped hail on parts of Arkansas on Saturday, October 15,” according to Yahoo News. “The National Weather Service said it received more than 30 hail reports from across the region, with several measuring hailstones larger than 2 inches across, and one report of a 3-inch hailstone.”
Commercial building owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. When even mid-sized ice hits, it causes dents, cracks, loose flashing, and compromised flashing. A commercial roof inspection documents the roof hail damage and provides a reliable quote to file an insurance claim.
A local hail damage map shows numerous storms sweeping across Central Arkansas, impacting residential neighborhoods and business districts alike. The yellow areas point to ice up to 1.25 inches pelting Benton, England, Jacksonville, and others. The light orange over places such as Woodlawn and Route 7, below Hollis, sustained ice strikes up to 1.75 inches. But the dark orange shown east of Hot Springs indicates that hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter pounded rooftops.

It’s essential to take advantage of commercial roof inspection services following a hailstorm to identify even minor roof storm damage and file a claim. Hailstorms are the number one reason for roof damage insurance claims. RestoreMasters provided roof leak repair after a hailstorm pelted Northwest Arkansas on Friday, April 15, 2022.
Tornadoes, hail, and even strong winds can cause severe wind damage to roofing systems.
Some older roofs can sustain damage from only 50 mph winds.
The severity of roof damage depends on several factors including: type and age of roofing materials, presence of flying debris, roof shape and angle, building height and proximity to adjacent structures and the quality of original roof installation.
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.
Rather than believing your roof is not damaged, if your property is anywhere in the area of the storm damage map, then you will want to get your roof inspected.
Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.
And insurance company deadlines could hinder your ability to file a claim later.
