Chicago and Suburbs See More Hail Damage – September 2013

Throughout the Chicago area, residents have reported damage from the heavy rain, hail and windstorms last weekend.  You may have storm damage and don’t even know it!

Hail can do significant damage, leaving holes, cuts and fractures in shingles. Just because your roof looks fine and has held up through our big storms, doesn’t necessarily mean that it is. Most storm damage is typically not visible from the ground. In addition to ordinary forms of damage from hail or wind, problems can surface from clogged gutters and downspouts. If the storm water is not properly directed to an unblocked gutter/downspout system, damage often occurs to the roof, the soffit, fascia and even the exterior walls. By the time you notice evidence of any problems, severe damage may already have occurred.
