Commercial Roofer Helps Olney, IL Property Owners With Roof Damage After Hail & Wind Ripped at Roofs on August, 1, 2022

Property owners in Olney, IL, and the Richland County area were reeling from hail strikes, high winds, and torrential downpours after an intense storm front pounded buildings on Monday, August 1st. Prompt emergency roof repair is needed in the aftermath of the storm and commercial roof inspection services are essential to fast-track insurance claims for roof hail and wind damage. RestoreMasters has a local office that performs roof repair in Chicago, Illinois and to all areas in and around Olney.

“Richland County and several other southeastern Illinois counties continue to feel the effects of Monday night's storms. Damaging winds, large hail, and flooding have wreaked havoc on Richland County. The storm brought down trees and power lines in the city, leaving a huge mess to be cleaned up. Many trees were snapped in half at Olney City Park. A tree also fell on a home on Sycamore Street. Luckily, no one was injured,” WTHI-TV 10 reported. “Ameren has been continuously working to restore power to the community. The northern part of Richland County has experienced flooding, causing several roads to be closed. Around ten roads in Olney remain closed due to downed trees and power lines.”

Commercial property owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. Hail roof damage typically leaves cracks in shingles, panels, and sealants that allow rain to penetrate and water damage to impact rafters and load-bearing walls. Given the amount of rainfall that accompanied the Monday, August 1st, hailstorm, undetected roof damage will lead to costly restoration construction unless corrected.

A local hailstorm damage map stretches from south of Parkersburg, across Olney, and north of West Liberty. The yellow sections show that ice balls up to 1.25 inches pelted automobiles and rooftops. The light orange section surrounding Olney highlights icefall up to 1.75 inches blanketing the area. But the dark orange swath indicates hail strikes as large as 2.5 inches in diameter pummeled roofs causing major roof hail damage in Olney.

Tornadoes, hail, and even strong winds can cause severe wind damage to roofing systems.

Older roofs are susceptible to severe wind damage, by winds as low as 50 mph.

Roof damage can be severe or mild, depending on various factors which include: materials used on the roof, impact of debris, building height and proximity to other buildings, age, angle and shape of the roof and type of roofing.

After a severe storm of hail or high winds, it is important to get your roof inspected, and have a property damage assessment report so that you can learn whether you have damage to your roofing system.

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.

If your property was anywhere within the storm damage map, it would be best to get your roof inspected, even if you think your roof was not damaged.

Many storm damage symptoms are not always evident immediately.

And deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
