Familiarity with these regional weather patterns helps ensure thorough damage assessments and proper documentation for successful claims.

Common Types of Storm Damage Covered by Insurance

• Wind damage: Lifted, torn, or missing shingles caused by high winds during coastal and inland storms. 
• Hail impacts: Dents, cracks, or loss of protective granules on shingles that can compromise long-term roof performance. 
• Ice dams and snow load: Buildup from heavy snow and freezing temperatures leading to leaks and interior water damage. 
• Falling debris: Tree limbs or branches that puncture or displace roofing materials during severe weather.
