Central Texas hail can bruise single-ply membranes, fracture mod-bit surfaces, and damage flashings even when interior leaks have not started yet. Property managers need a documentation habit — not panic, and not invented claim promises.
What to document after a hail event
- Date/time of the storm and weather reports you rely on internally
- Photos of the roof field, soft metals, HVAC fins, and skylights — from safe access only
- Interior photos of any new stains, with dates
- Prior inspection reports and warranty status
Do not send untrained staff onto wet commercial roofs. Use fall protection protocols your company requires.
Inspection timing
After significant hail, many managers schedule a commercial roof inspection within days to weeks, especially if the membrane is older. Interpretation belongs to qualified inspectors, not blog checklists.
Insurance reality check
Coverage depends on your policy, deductibles, and adjuster findings. ATX Commercial Roof does not adjust claims or guarantee insurance outcomes.
