The Tecumseh hail storm was a doozie. Reports of “golf ball size hail” were common throughout the day. Other reports mentioned hail the size of “limes” falling in the Auburn area south of Omaha.

Tecumseh Hail Storm Damage – What To Look For

If you live in the storm path, it’s almost a guarantee that your home took some damage even if it looks fine at first glance. Ignoring the possibility of damage could lead to roof leaks which cause mold, damage to electric systems, and even ceiling failure!

The trained experts at AGR Roofing & Construction are here to help with your roof repair and roof replacement needs!

When you’re walking around your home, here are a few things to look for:

  • Texture or color change spots on shingles
    • These spots could be as small as a dime or as big as a golf ball, much like hail.
  • Roof/Shingle granules in your gutter
    • The granules are there to protect your roof shingles from damaging UV rays. If they’re falling off, that’s an issue.
  • Missing or loose shingles
    • Missing or lifted shingles will lead to leaks 100% of the time. You need roof repair or maybe even roof replacement.
  • Dented flashing or vents
    • These areas are often hit hardest from a hail storm
  • Dents on your windows, gutters, and siding
    • These can be hard to see to the untrained eye, but here’s an industry trick. Take a piece of chalk and rub it over any areas where you think hail hit. You’ll be able to clearly see the dents after doing this.
