Hail storms can often wreck havoc to cars and homes. Because of the greater chance of roof damage during a hail storm, many home owners start with inspecting their roof. Your gutter system is also at risk of damage. Because hail damage repair to your gutter system can be costly, it is best when a professional can assess the damage and determine whether a full replacement is a better cost benefit to repair.
Because hail damage repair can be costly, we recommend that you call your insurance company. For that reason, you may want to work alongside of a roofing company as well. Together they can best access the overall damage that your home has undergone. It is a good idea to also consider covering your gutters with a guard to mitigate future damage. The best mesh guards are made of thicker and stronger materials than the gutters.
After a storm hits, you want to inspect your home for damage. If your roof has been damaged, there is a good chance that your gutter system has been too. This is also true after a tornado hits, a flood occurs or you have an abundance of rain.
