Contractor Responds to Roof Hail Damage in St. Paul, MN & River Falls, WI After September 20, 2022 Storm Devastates Region

Residents in St. Paul, MN, and River Falls, WI, were stunned by the violent force of a hailstorm that smashed windshields and inflicted widespread property and roof damage on Tuesday, Sept. 20th. Emergency roof repair crews were alerted as reports indicated hailstones the size of baseballs were smashing windshields and pounding roofing systems. RestoreMaster has contractors ready to respond from the roof repair offices in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and roof repair offices in Appleton, Wisconsin.

A staggering number of automobiles, homes, and commercial buildings sustained heavy damage. A horticulture studies building at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls suffered upwards of $100,000 in roof damage alone.

“Concern for some of the research material on whether temperature will affect or water,” Dan Waletzko, who works for the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in the Horticulture Department, reportedly told KARE 11 news. The university’s greenhouse was left with upwards of 60 holes, leaving 1,000 species at risk. “It worries me.”

Commercial and institutional building decision-makers concerned about the effects of hail pummeling their structure are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. RestoreMaster provides commercial roof inspection services to help organizations expedite the insurance claim process and make a full recovery.

A local hailstorm damage map shows four storm fronts trekking across the region. The yellow portions highlight hail up to 1.25 inches pelting communities such as Somerset and New Richmond, WI. The orange swaths over Woodbury, MN, and other cities and towns point to ice 1.75 inches to 2.5 inches cracking roof shingles and denting panels. But the purple concentration hovering over River Falls, WI, indicates ice the size of baseball-inflicted hail damage on roofs that will require commercial roof inspection and repair.

Severe storms, bringing hail, strong winds, or tornadoes can cause severe roof damage, by ripping off roofing systems.

Some older roofs can be damaged by winds as low as 50 miles per hour.

The severity of roof damage depends on several factors including: type and age of roofing materials, presence of flying debris, roof shape and angle, building height and proximity to adjacent structures and the quality of original roof installation.

It’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment following severe weather like this so that you can determine whether you have roof damage from hail or high winds.

If roof leaks do occur, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can stop leaks with tarping or shrink wrapping, where affected areas (or the entire roof) are covered with a durable shrink-wrapped plastic membrane till permanent repairs can take place. That way you can prevent mold growth from water intrusion.

Even if you don’t think your roof was damaged, you will want to get your roof inspected if your property falls anywhere within the hail damage map.

Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.

And deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
