Roof Hail Damage Repair Across Southwest Iowa Following September 17, 2022 Storm

Massive hailstones smashed windshields and damaged rooftops across Southwest Iowa on Saturday, Sept. 17th, leaving commercial and agricultural building owners in dire need of emergency roof repair. RestoreMasters sent field crews to impacted communities and property owners can contact the roof repair office in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a commercial roof inspection or repair team.

“The National Weather Service reports hail ranging from as small as pea- to as large as baseball ball size, fell across the area. Storms also brought winds of up to 70 miles per hour. The evening began at around 5:30-p.m. with a severe thunderstorm watch issued for the far west and southwest counties,” KJAN reported. “The warnings began to pop up about two hours later, including a tornado warning that was issued for southeast Montgomery and NE Page Counties. A possible tornado was indicated by radar, but there were no confirmed sightings.”

Enlisting commercial roof inspection services following a severe weather event can prevent unnecessary water damage to buildings. That’s why RestoreMasters urges businesses across Southwest Iowa to request a complimentary roof inspection.

A local hailstorm damage map shows multiple storm fronts trekking across Southwest Iowa. The yellow areas indicate hail up to 1.25 inches pelting communities. The light orange points to ice chunks up to 1.75 inches, damaging roof shingles and denting metal panels. But the dark orange and purple concentrations prove rocks of ice up to 3.5 inches in diameter inflicted significant hail roof damage.

Some roofing systems can be severely harmed by damage from heavy winds, tornadoes, or hail.

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

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.

Getting a roof inspection & property damage assessment after severe weather like this is important for determining whether you need to address roof damage from hail or high winds.

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.

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.

Symptoms of storm damage problems do not always show up immediately.

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