Hail Damage Insurance Claims in Clarksville, TN

Hail damage is the most common insurance claim we handle in Clarksville. Our spring storms produce hail that damages roofs, gutters, siding, and cars. Pea-sized hail may not damage a new roof. Golf ball-sized hail will destroy it.

Filing a hail damage claim can be confusing. Adjusters look for specific evidence. Circular dimples with missing granules. Soft spots when pressed. Hail strikes on soft metal (gutters, vents, AC condensers). Documentation matters.

What Hail Damage Looks Like

On asphalt shingles: - Circular dimples with no granules (the shiny asphalt is exposed) - Soft spots when pressed (the berglass mat is fractured) - Cracks radiating from the impact point - Random pattern (not a straight line, which would be a manufacturing defect) On metal roofs: - Dents (cosmetic, usually not leaks unless the metal is pierced) - On standing seam, the seams may be dented but the panels often survive On at roofs (TPO, EPDM): - Punctures or tears (more common on older membranes) - Dimples that may not leak immediately but will weaken the membrane On other components: - Dented gutters and downspouts (look for circular dents) - Dented window screens (the aluminum frames) - Dented AC condenser ns (look for attened areas) - Cracked skylights or plastic vents Hail damage is not always visible from the ground. You need a professional on the roof. We have found hail damage on roofs that looked ne from the street. The damage was on the back slope, hidden from view.

Clarksville hail varies. Most storms produce pea to marble-sized hail. That may not damage a new roof but will damage older, brittle shingles. Every few years, we get golf ball or baseballsized hail. That destroys roofs.
