Imagine a solid frozen ice ball the size of a baseball coming through the air at speeds of 120 MPH. It’s rocketing straight for the roof of your Pace Island or Fleming Island home. There’s not much you can do to stop the potential hail damage. You may think because you live in Pace Island or Fleming Island, that you’re immune to hail damage. However, hail causes $1 billion dollars in damage to crops and property each year.
Fortunately, most hail is small and does not reach larger than 2 inches in diameter. June 23, 2003 marked the largest hailstone fallen at 7 inches in diameter and weighed about 1 pound. Whether or not it’s the size of a nickel or the size of a golf ball, hail damage can cause a serious strain for your home’s roof and your wallet.
After a hail storm in Fleming Island and Pace Island, you may be breathing a sigh of relief as you look up to your roof and see no signs of visible hail damage. Thinking you dodged a serious roof repair, you go about the rest of your day unaware of the actual damage that your roof accrued. It’s important to note that hail damage can not be seen from the ground. Unfortunately, many roof inspectors in Pace Island and Fleming Island have not received formal training on hail damaged roofs.
