(423) 555-0187 — Request a Storm Damage InspectionTennessee Valley storms bring hail, straight-line wind, and occasional tornado activity, often in the same system — each leaves a different kind of damage, and we treat them differently.
Hail can crack shingles or dent metal roofing without an obvious leak showing up for weeks — early inspection catches it before it becomes a bigger repair.
From missing shingles to structural damage after a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning event, common across the Tennessee Valley spring severe weather season.
Wind-driven hail and debris frequently damage siding and gutters alongside the roof — often missed in a roof-only inspection.
Detailed photo documentation and a written damage assessment formatted for a homeowners insurance claim.
Storm damage claims move fastest when documentation happens before repairs start. Here's the order that protects your claim.
Don't inspect storm damage yourself from a ladder — wet or damaged roofing is a real fall risk, and a professional inspection is more thorough anyway.
Visible shingle damage, downed branches on the roofline, dented gutters or siding — useful supporting documentation even before a formal inspection.
If water is actively entering the home, a temporary tarp can prevent interior damage — but full roof assessment should wait for a professional.
An inspection report gives your insurance adjuster something concrete to work from, and can catch damage that isn't visible from the ground.
Most homeowners policies cover sudden storm damage; having photos and an inspection report ready when you call typically speeds up the process.
A rough range based on roof size, damage type, and severity. This isn't a quote — every job gets a free in-person inspection — but it'll tell you what ballpark you're in.
Most standard policies cover sudden storm damage from hail and wind. Some states and carriers apply a separate, often higher, wind/hail deductible than your standard deductible — worth checking your declarations page.
Hail damage in particular can be worse than it looks from the ground — cracked shingle mat isn't always visible until it leads to a leak weeks or months later. A professional inspection is usually worth it even for damage that seems cosmetic.
Your policy number, dated photos of visible damage, the approximate date of the storm, and — ideally — a professional inspection report before filing.
The Tennessee Valley sits within a region prone to severe convective storms — Tennessee's primary severe weather season runs March through May, bringing hail, damaging straight-line winds, and tornado risk, sometimes in the same storm system. Chattanooga's surrounding area has recorded numerous hail and severe weather reports in the past two years alone. Homes here see real, recurring storm exposure, which is part of why prompt inspection and documentation matters — damage from an early-season storm can go unnoticed until the next one makes it worse.
