Commercial Roof Inspections in Mid-Michigan to Document Hail Damage From September 21, 2022 Storm

Hailstorms ripped across Mid-Michigan Wednesday, Sept. 21st, inflicting widespread damage and leaving property owners in need of a prompt commercial roof inspection. RestoreMasters dispatched emergency roof repair crews to impacted communities. Property owners and building managers concerned about hailstone strikes can contact the roof repair office in Detroit, Michigan.

“Hail could be up to ping pong size, wind gusts could hit 60 mph, and lightning is expected to be frequent as a cold front pushes into the area,” a Fox 2 report warned. “Around 10 a.m., the storm was just entering the severe thunderstorm watch area with clouds reaching up to 35-40,000 feet. The taller the clouds, the more that severe weather can build.”

Commercial, institutional, and agricultural building owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. Hail typically dents and cracks materials that result in slow roof leaks and eventual water damage. Enlisting commercial roof inspection services following a hailstorm ensures a definitive record of the roof damage has been established to pursue an insurance claim.

A local hail damage map indicates a long storm front stretched from Standish to Route 115, west of Harrison. Smaller fronts impacted Edwards and areas around Roscommon State Forest Area, among others. The long yellow sections point to hail up to 1.25 inches blanketing areas. The orange concentrations on the map show that ice upwards of 1.75 inches in diameter caused property and hail roof damage.

Some roofing systems can be severely harmed by damage from heavy winds, tornadoes, or hail.

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.

It’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment following severe weather like this so that you can determine whether you have 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.

Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.

And insurance companies sometimes enforce deadlines for claims, so you need to get your claim filed quickly.
