Roof Hail Damage Repair in Wauchula, FL After Storm Hits on November 2, 2022
Commercial Roofing & Restoration

A fast-moving hailstorm pelted Wauchula, FL, leaving significant roof hail damage on Wednesday, Nov.2nd. The hailstone strikes required emergency roof repair measures for commercial buildings that suffered leaks. RestoreMasters also has commercial roof inspection services professionals in the area as the tropical storm season continues to cause water damage. Property owners hit by ice chunks can contact the commercial roof inspection and repair office in Sarasota, FL.
The need for a prompt commercial roof inspection in Hardee County cannot be understated. Following the hail pounding on Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, tropical storm Nicole began trekking toward the coast, bringing heavy rains. When the ice hits rooftops at high speeds, chips, dents, cracks, and torn roofing materials result. As moisture seeps through gaps, structural beams are impacted and hazardous molds grow behind walls.
Commercial property owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. By identifying minor leaks and documenting them, building owners and managers can expedite an insurance claim and cure the issue.
A local hail damage map shows a thick storm hovering over Hardee County. The yellow portion points to hail up to 1.25 inches pelting automobiles and rooftops. The orange section indicates ice up to 1.75 inches inflicted property damage.

The National Weather Service high wind and hailstorm damage map shows only a pair of storms and both were over Florida. A high wind report and hailstorm trekked through South Central Florida. Local reports indicate Hardee and Charlotte Counties sustained the following.
- Solana: Areas of Charlotte County experienced winds of nearly 60 mph during the late evening.
- Zolfo Springs: The Hardee County community was struck by hailstones the size of golf balls at approximately 7:45 pm.
Although roof hail damage may not immediately show in the form of leaks or stains on the ceiling, seemingly small cracks produce costly property damage that involves water removal and remediation over time. That’s why a commercial roof inspection following a hailstorm or high-wind incident is crucial to preventing unnecessary losses.

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.
