Should I wait for another storm before checking my roof?
No. Waiting can allow minor issues to become bigger leaks. If you suspect roof damage now, it is better to request an inspection and understand the condition.
Can RAFTRx inspect roofs after heavy rain?
Yes, heavy rain can reveal leaks around valleys, flashing, vents, skylights, chimneys, and roof penetrations that were not obvious during dry weather.
What should I do if I see missing shingles?
Request a roof inspection soon. Missing shingles can expose underlayment and decking, allowing water intrusion during the next rain.
Why is collateral damage important in a roof claim?
Collateral damage can help show that a hail or wind event affected the property as a whole. It may support the storm story when roof damage alone is difficult to see or was previously overlooked.
Do I need a roof inspection if my roof is not leaking?
Yes, a roof can have storm damage or wear before an active leak appears. An inspection helps identify visible issues early, especially after hail or high winds.
Why does RAFTRx say the storm hit more than your roof?
Because hail and wind often leave signs across the property. Gutters, garage doors, downspouts, screens, vents, and soft metals may show visible evidence even when roof damage is harder to understand.
How soon should I request a hail damage roof inspection in Ardmore?
It is smart to request an inspection soon after the storm, especially if you see granules, missing shingles, dents on gutters, or new ceiling stains. Early documentation can help you understand the condition of the roof before more weather arrives.
What is the difference between a roof inspection and a roof estimate?
A roof inspection focuses on condition and visible issues. A roof estimate focuses on projected repair or replacement scope and pricing after the roof has been reviewed.
What if only one side of my roof was hit?
Hail and wind can affect slopes differently. The inspection can review individual slopes, directional exposure, and areas that took the most impact.
