Hail Damage Repair in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Hail Damage Repair in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Tuscaloosa sits in the Dixie Alley corridor, and the spring storms that roll through Tuscaloosa County bring hail with them. A hail storm can bruise a whole roof in minutes, and the damage hides until the next rain. Hail damage repair in Tuscaloosa means catching the damage, documenting it for insurance, and fixing it right.

Signs Your Tuscaloosa Roof Has Hail Damage

• Dark bruises on the shingles — the hail hit hard enough to compress the mat
• Granules collecting in the gutters — the hail knocked the surface loose
• Dents in the gutters, vents, and metal — soft metal shows the hits
• Splits in the shingles — large hail cracked the mat
• Missing granules on the south slope — the sun-exposed side takes the worst hits

Why Tuscaloosa Hail Damages Roofs

The spring severe-weather season is the main story in west Alabama. Supercell storms roll through the corridor from March through May, and hail the size of golf balls or larger is not uncommon. The hail hits the shingles hard enough to bruise the mat — the inner layer that gives the shingle strength — even when the surface looks fine.

The bruise weakens the shingle. Over the next months, the shingle ages faster and the mat degrades. An insurance adjuster needs to see the damage documented well, because hail damage is often not visible from the ground.
