Contractor Teams Repair Roof Hail Damage In Sioux Falls & Southeast South Dakota, On May 28, 2022

Sunday Morning May 28^th, Sioux Falls and Southeast South Dakota early risers were greeted by golf ball and softball-sized hailstones and a day of severe thunderstorms to go on into Memorial Day. 

Dakota News Now reports an auto body shop that suddenly became very busy due to the damage to cars. Evan Kindt from Marv’s Body Shop said that the storm may be “the severest that we’ve seen in Sioux Falls since 2014”. Golf ball and softball-sized hail do not drop without causing damage to cars, buildings, and homes.

While Marv’s Body Shop worked diligently to assist their customers, RestoreMasters sent teams into the area to assist property owners. They will do the “dirty work” of cleanup, climbing, and walking roofs to mark and assess damage for insurance claims and implementing temporary emergency repairs until they are able to do final repairs.

The local hail and wind map indicate patches of hail from 1” up to 2.5”. There were various incidents of hail storms, the largest being the swath of hail from Olivet to areas out east beyond Adrian. The center of the storm directly over Sioux Falls and a patch west dropped huge hail about the size of golf balls and soft balls (dark orange). Extending beyond and meeting between those areas, ping-pong to golf ball-sized hail (orange) dropped, with the majority of the storm dropping 1” – 1.25” hail (yellow).

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

Some older roofs can be damaged by winds as low as 50 miles per hour.

The severity of roof damage depends on several factors including: type and age of roofing materials, presence of flying debris, roof shape and angle, building height and proximity to adjacent structures and the quality of original roof installation.

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.

Even if you don't think your roof was damaged, you will want to get your roof inspected if your property falls anywhere within the hail damage map.

Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.

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