Commercial Roof Inspection Services For Central Arkansas Hail Damage Insurance Claims After October 15, 2022 Storm
Commercial Roofing & Restoration
A herd of fast-moving hailstorms trampled Central Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 15th, as commercial roof inspection services and repair specialists support property owners who sustain damage. Multiple storm fronts caused widespread roof hail damage that left commercial, agricultural, and institutional buildings leaking. RestoreMaster has field teams ready to assist with emergency roof repair efforts or conduct thorough inspections to support an insurance claim. Property owners that took hail strikes can contact the roof repair office in Tulsa, OK.
“A band of storms dropped hail on parts of Arkansas on Saturday, October 15,” according to Yahoo News. “The National Weather Service said it received more than 30 hail reports from across the region, with several measuring hailstones larger than 2 inches across, and one report of a 3-inch hailstone.”
Commercial building owners are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. When even mid-sized ice hits, it causes dents, cracks, loose flashing, and compromised flashing. A commercial roof inspection documents the roof hail damage and provides a reliable quote to file an insurance claim.
A local hail damage map shows numerous storms sweeping across Central Arkansas, impacting residential neighborhoods and business districts alike. The yellow areas point to ice up to 1.25 inches pelting Benton, England, Jacksonville, and others. The light orange over places such as Woodlawn and Route 7, below Hollis, sustained ice strikes up to 1.75 inches. But the dark orange shown east of Hot Springs indicates that hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter pounded rooftops.

It’s essential to take advantage of commercial roof inspection services following a hailstorm to identify even minor roof storm damage and file a claim. Hailstorms are the number one reason for roof damage insurance claims. RestoreMaster provided roof leak repair after a hailstorm pelted Northwest Arkansas on Friday, April 15, 2022.
Some roofing systems can be severely harmed by damage from heavy winds, tornadoes, or hail.
Some older roofs can sustain damage from only 50 mph winds.
The intensity of roof damage is determined by various factors: the velocity and impact of flying debris, the quality of the original installation, the building height and location in relation to other buildings, the angle and shape of the roof, and the material used on the roof.
After a severe storm of hail or high winds, it is important to get your roof inspected, and have a property damage assessment report so that you can learn whether you have damage to your roofing system.
Circumstances do not always allow for immediate repair of roof leaks. In the meantime, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can cover the roof or affected area with a tarp or with a durable plastic shrink wrap material, until such a time when more permanent repairs can be made. We need to stop more moisture damage, so we can prevent mold growth.
Rather than believing your roof is not damaged, if your property is anywhere in the area of the storm damage map, then you will want to get your roof inspected.
Some storm damage symptoms take time to appear.
And insurance company deadlines could hinder your ability to file a claim later.
