According to the National Weather Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, approximately 4,610 severe hail storms struck the United States in 2018. Over $2.7 billion worth of claims were filed by State Farm insurance policyholders that same year because of wind and hail related property damage. As you can see, hail damage is quite serious.

When northerners move down to Fort Lauderdale, they’re surprised to learn that even Florida is susceptible to hail. In fact, the hail in Florida is much more dangerous than the hail up north because it falls when hurricanes strike. The hurricane-force winds blow large hailstones toward the ground at over 100 mph. If a hailstone at this speed were to hit a person or property, it would cause a lot of damage to either one.

Spring and Fall are when hail occurs the most in Florida. You should check your roof for damage periodically during these two seasons. Hailstones might not seem like a serious threat because they’re so small, but they can still do some damage. There doesn’t always need to be a hurricane for them to fall down quickly either. Sometimes all it takes is some heavy gusts of wind, and you could have hailstones falling on your property in no time.

How to Detect Hail Damage

Wind and debris are common causes of roof damage. But if you ever hear strange thumping sounds on a consistent basis which seem to come from the top of your house, then they are probably hailstones striking your roof. Don’t investigate the situation until the thumping sounds have stopped. Otherwise, there is a possibility that you could get hurt by hailstones if you climb up onto the roof prematurely.

When the coast is clear, grab a ladder and climb up onto your roof. Do you see any roof damage? Are there pieces of ice and melted water on the roof? If both of these things are present, then it is safe to say that the hailstones damaged your roof. Take photographs of the roof damage right away. If you can capture the melting hailstones on camera before they melt completely, this will make it easier to convince the insurance claims adjuster that hail caused the damage.
