Storm Damage Repair Services
KANSAS CITY WEATHER IS UNPREDICTABLE. WE KNOW!
While we can understand the desire to put off what may seem like an unnecessary repair, experts agree hail damage is a necessary and critical repair. Consider how significant damage can occur and the amount of time you have in order to make an insurance claim.
The points below detail how hail damage can progress. Accent Roofing Group LLC
provides the best storm damage repair services in Kansas City.
- The shingles hit by hail have loosened the bond with the granules to the asphalt layer.
- Once the granules fall off the damaged areas of the shingles, the asphalt layer will be exposed to weather. The sun’s ultraviolet light will weaken the exposed spots and make them brittle. In the winter, the shingle expands and contracts and can curl and crack after being weakened by hail. The exposed areas are then very susceptible to leaks.
- Storm and weather related damages have different characteristics as it passes through the seasons. Thus, an inspector can tell whether the damage is new or older. Insurance claim periods can vary, but typically there is a set amount of time a home owner can make a claim after the damage occurs – whether you were aware of the damage or not.
- Once leaks occur, the damage can be extensive due to potential damage from mold, electrical issues, ceiling and wall damage from water and perhaps even personal property losses. The damage can also come very quickly and often is not initially detected.
