What hail does to a rubber roof

Much of it hides until the next rain. We look for:

  • Dents and divots in the membrane
  • Small punctures and bruised spots
  • Split or separating seams
  • Exposed insulation
  • Soft spots underfoot
  • Water stains on the ceiling below

Decided by damage extent

Patch or new membrane?

A few punctures or one split seam usually mean a repair. Widespread bruising, brittle rubber or wet insulation means the membrane is finished, and replacing the EPDM roof is the honest answer.

Can hail damage an EPDM roof without a leak?

As soon as it is safe. Early photos give a clearer record for the adjuster.
Will you help with the insurance claim?
Yes. Our photos and written report document the damage for your claim.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes, with no obligation.
