Can downspouts show hail damage?
Yes. Downspouts often show dents from hail impact, especially on exposed sides of the property. RAFTRx checks them during collateral damage inspections.
Can hail damage show up later?
Some issues become more visible over time as granules loosen, bruised areas age, or water begins entering weakened spots. That is why post-storm review is useful.
