Commercial Roof Repair Crews Pivot After Hail Strikes Jackson & Central Mississippi on Sunday, April 17, 2022

Hailstorms battered Jackson and Central Mississippi on Sunday, April 17th, 2022, as ice the size of baseballs and high winds damaged rooftops, forcing residents to take shelter. RestoreMasters promptly contacted commercial roofing crews in the field to pivot and lend support to impacted community members.

Early weather reports from NBC affiliate WLBT 3 indicated at least 31 hailstone incidents occurred during Easter Sunday. The local media outlet noted that “hail around central Mississippi left behind a lot of damage.” Community members said the blanketing icefall in the greater Jackson area sounded like white noise. Then large hailstones would strike roofs, making “thunks” on impact, according to one resident. Community members were urged to check for roof hail damage after the storm passed and consider a thorough inspection.

A local hailstorm damage map shows two large and two smaller hailstorms trekking through Central Mississippi. The small system highlighted in yellow, north of Vicksburg, dropped quarter-sized ice in the Rolling Fork area. Another yellow storm pelted Brownsville with 1-inch ice. Larger systems required emergency roof repair around Greenville and Jackson. The orange bands indicate ice as large as 2.5 inches in diameter and the purple section show baseball-sized ice stones causing widespread hail damage to roofing systems.

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.

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.

Circumstances do not always allow for immediate repair of roof leaks. In the meantime, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can cover the roof or affected area with a tarp or with a durable plastic shrink wrap material, until such a time when more permanent repairs can be made. We need to stop more moisture damage, so we can prevent mold growth.

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 symptoms take time to appear.

And insurance company deadlines could hinder your ability to file a claim later.
