Commercial Roof Inspections in New England for Hail Damage Insurance Claims After Storm on July 21, 2022
Commercial Roofing & Restoration
Hailstone strikes blistered New England on Thursday, July 21st, tasking property owners with securing badly needed emergency roof repair specialists. Although the hail damage on roofs is spread out across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, RestoreMasters has field teams prepared to create a commercial roof inspection report so that property owners can expedite insurance claims.
“Supercells moving toward south New Hampshire through 5 pm with 60 mph winds and 2-inch hail detected by radar. Both storms also show rotation, so a tornado is possible through 6 pm,” a Facebook The Storm Warning report indicated. “Secure outdoor objects and get ready for some ugly storms. FYI the heat index at MHT is 100 degrees which is helping to fuel these storms.”
Commercial property owners who experienced intense weather are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. Hard impacts from hailstone strikes and powerful wind gusts affect the structural integrity of roofing systems. Enlisting the support of a comprehensive commercial roof inspection services provider can secure rooftops, avoid unnecessary water damage, and help fast-track insurance claims.
A hail damage map covering New England shows concentrated hailstorms across the region. The yellow areas point to hail up to 1.25 inches pelting automobiles and roofs. The orange sections demonstrate ice as large as 1.75 inches in diameter pounded residential neighborhoods and business districts.
Storm that brought about hail damage in the New England area have been posted on social media:

Freak rain storm in North Ferrisburgh, Vermont today. This is how bad it was. The visibility was incredibly low even if it doesn’t look like it in the video. I had to turn back around and go a different route home because of a downed tree. The wind was insane as well. @wcax pic.twitter.com/mNfXWCcPKr

The National Weather Service high wind and hail damage map shows dense storm concentrations over the New England states, Upstate New York, Long Island, Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota, and the Carolinas. Isolated weather events pepper other areas of the U.S. A full accounting for Thursday, July 21st, indicates the country experienced 342 high-wind storms and 91 hailstone incidents during a 24-hour period. Traditional news and social media reports indicate New England suffered the following hail damage on roofs and other property.
- Beecher Falls, New Hampshire: Ping pong ball-sized hailstones pelted roofs as high winds reportedly damaged outbuildings.
- Bradford, Vermont: Hail damage on roofs was left after ice the size of quarters struck.
- Bristol, New Hampshire: Ice up to 1.5 inches in diameter made landfall in the early afternoon.
- Brookline, New Hampshire: Hail the size of half dollars blanketed the area around Potanipo Lake. Power lines were downed, and power outages were reported across Hillsborough County.
- Center Ossipee, New Hampshire: Ice chunks the size of half dollars doused the area for five consecutive minutes.
- Effingham, New Hampshire: A microburst drove wind speeds over 80 mph, leaving upwards of 400 trees downed near Town House Road.

Property owners across affected New England states would be well-served to contact a commercial roof inspection services provider to conduct a thorough analysis. The region is suffering through intense and shifting weather patterns. A damaged roof allows moisture to penetrate, weaken structural supports, and hazardous molds to grow behind walls. RestoreMasters recently dispatched emergency roof repair and inspection teams to Monmouth County, NJ, to help with hail damage claims after a storm hit July 2, 2022.
Some roofing systems can be severely harmed by damage from heavy winds, tornadoes, or hail.
Winds as low as 50 mph can cause some older roofs to be damaged.
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.
Following severe weather like this, it’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment to determine whether or not you have roof damage from hail or wind.
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.
Some storm damage symptoms take time to appear.
And insurance companies sometimes enforce deadlines for claims, so you need to get your claim filed quickly.
