Emergency Roof Repair Needed as Lovington, NM & Denver City, TX, Suffer Damage From Baseball-Sized Hail Strikes on Sunday, May 1, 2022

Tornado and large hailstorm warnings for New Mexico-Texas border towns were issued Sunday, May 1st, and Lovington and Denver City sustained roof storm damage. RestoreMasters dispatched commercial roof repair crews as the fast-moving storms passed, and property owners raised concerns about immediate roof leak repair needs.

News outlets such as local NBC affiliate KCBD 11 alerted residents that a “severe thunderstorm watch” was in effect until 11 pm across the South Plains, and all indications pointed to an isolated tornado touching down, and near-certainty large hailstones would pound New Mexico cities and towns including Hobbs, Seminole, Lamesa, Gail, and Snyder, among others. Gusts were expected to reach 60-70 mph, and widespread roof wind damage was anticipated. Meteorologists may have underappreciated the volatility of at least four hailstorm fronts.

A local hailstorm damage map shows four powerful hailstorms inflicting heavy damage as they cross the border around Lovington, NM, and Denver City, Texas. The yellow colorations on the hail property damage map indicate ice as large as 1.25 inches pelting eastern Lovington, NM, as well as Wellman and Snyder, Texas. The orange swaths show hail up to 2.5 inches striking communities such as Denver City and Hermleigh, Texas. But the dark purple marks at the center of three of the four hailstorm events point to hail as large as baseballs smashing rooftops.

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.

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.

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.

Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.

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