Commercial Roof Inspections in McHenry, Maryland & Northeast West Virginia To Document Hail Damage From September 25, 2022 Storm

A fast-moving hailstorm pelted McHenry, Maryland, and Northeast West Virginia on Sunday, Sept. 25th, leaving cracked shingles and roof leaks. Emergency roof repair crews were alerted to cure hail roof damage that could lead to water damage. RestoreMasters has certified professionals on standby at our roofing offices in Bethesda, Maryland.

“Fourteen Maryland counties and Baltimore city are under a severe thunderstorm watch until 7 p.m. Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms will expand across the region Sunday afternoon,” according to The Patch. “Some storms may produce damaging winds and large hail. Ping pong ball size hail has already been reported in Garrett County.”

Commercial, agricultural, and institutional building decision-makers are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. Hailstones the size of ping pong balls typically crack asphalt shingles, dent metal panels, and splinter tile roofing systems. Seemingly minor hail roof damage can result in unnoticed moisture penetrations, causing beams to rot and hazardous mold growths.

A commercial roof inspection helps document hail damage on roofs, which also includes compromised flashing and sealants around ventilation pipes and HVAC units. Commercial roof inspection services also support an insurance claim that might otherwise cause property owners to pay out of pocket.

A local hailstorm damage map shows a long front stretching from Morgantown, West Virginia, east across McHenry, Maryland, and as far as Route 135. The yellow areas over Morgantown, and Mount Nebo, W.V., as well as Hoyes Road, off of Highway 219 in Maryland, indicate ice chunks up to 1.25 inches peppered rooftops. The orange sections show that hailstones up to 1.75 inches in diameter pummeled automobiles and roofing systems.

Strong winds can rip open some roofing systems and cause severe roof wind damage.

Some older roofs can sustain damage from only 50 mph winds.

Several factors will determine the severity of roof damage: the height of the building and proximity to nearby structures, the quality of work by the original installers, the shape and angle of the roof, the age and type of roofing materials, and the impact from debris.

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 are a problem, they need to be addressed immediately. Experienced roofing contractors can either cover the affected area (or the entire roof) with a tarp or with a durable shrink wrap plastic membrane until long-term repairs can be made. Preventing water intrusion will help stop mold from growing.

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.
