Storm Damage FAQs - Indiana
Common questions about roof storm damage in Indiana.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Signs include dented or cracked shingles, granule loss (check gutters), dents in metal vents/flashing, and damaged siding or gutters. A professional inspection is recommended.
Should I file a claim for minor roof damage?
It depends on the extent of damage vs your deductible. If damage exceeds your deductible significantly, filing a claim is usually worthwhile.
How long after a storm should I inspect my roof?
Inspect your roof (from the ground) within 24-48 hours after a storm. Schedule a professional inspection within a week if you suspect damage.
Does wind damage void my roof warranty?
No, manufacturer warranties cover defects, not storm damage. Storm damage is covered by your homeowner's insurance, not the warranty.
Can I repair just the damaged section?
Sometimes, but matching older shingles can be difficult. Insurance may approve full replacement if repairs would compromise the roof's integrity.
