Cumming Storm & Hail Damage Check
Forsyth County sees hail and severe wind most spring and summer, and storms tracking up the GA-400 corridor hit the Lake Lanier area hard. If a storm hit your Cumming roof, you may be able to get a full replacement covered by insurance for just your deductible. Answer a few questions to see where you stand.
Signs of storm and hail damage on a Cumming roof
Hail damage often isn't obvious from the ground. By the time you see a leak, water has usually been getting in for a while. Watch for:
- Bruising and missing granules. Hail knocks the protective granules off shingles, leaving dark, soft spots. You may find the granules piling up in your gutters.
- Dents on metal. Check gutters, downspouts, vents, flashing, and the top of your AC unit. Dents there usually mean the roof took hits too.
- Lifted or missing shingles. High winds break the seal under shingles or tear them off, especially on the windward side and along ridges. Open, wind-exposed lakeside lots take the brunt of it.
- Interior stains. Brown rings on a ceiling or damp spots in the attic mean water is already getting past the roof.
How roof insurance claims work in Georgia
If a covered storm damaged your roof, your homeowner's policy may pay for repair or a full replacement, and you typically owe only your deductible. The keys are timing and documentation. Georgia policies generally require you to file within a year or two of the storm, and the damage has to be documented properly for the adjuster.
