Roof Hail Damage Repair Across Southwest Iowa Following September 17, 2022 Storm

Massive hailstones smashed windshields and damaged rooftops across Southwest Iowa on Saturday, Sept. 17th, leaving commercial and agricultural building owners in dire need of emergency roof repair. RestoreMaster sent field crews to impacted communities and property owners can contact the roof repair office in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a commercial roof inspection or repair team.

“The National Weather Service reports hail ranging from as small as pea- to as large as baseball ball size, fell across the area. Storms also brought winds of up to 70 miles per hour. The evening began at around 5:30-p.m. with a severe thunderstorm watch issued for the far west and southwest counties,” KJAN reported. “The warnings began to pop up about two hours later, including a tornado warning that was issued for southeast Montgomery and NE Page Counties. A possible tornado was indicated by radar, but there were no confirmed sightings.”

Enlisting commercial roof inspection services following a severe weather event can prevent unnecessary water damage to buildings. That’s why RestoreMaster urges businesses across Southwest Iowa to request a complimentary roof inspection.

A local hailstorm damage map shows multiple storm fronts trekking across Southwest Iowa. The yellow areas indicate hail up to 1.25 inches pelting communities. The light orange points to ice chunks up to 1.75 inches, damaging roof shingles and denting metal panels. But the dark orange and purple concentrations prove rocks of ice up to 3.5 inches in diameter inflicted significant hail roof damage.

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 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.

Following severe weather like this, it’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment to determine whether or not you have roof damage from hail or wind.

In situations where you’ve got a leaking roof, experienced disaster roofing contractors can stop the leaks temporarily, by laying tarp or by using a durable shrink-wrap plastic membrane in the affected areas, or even over the entire roof. This will keep your building protected until permanent repairs can take place. This will help prevent mold infestation from water leaks.

If your property was anywhere within the storm damage map, it would be best to get your roof inspected, even if you think your roof was not damaged.

Some storm damage symptoms take time to appear.

And insurance companies can require you to get a claim in before their deadline.
