How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after a hail storm?

Schedule a roof inspection after a hail storm as soon as it’s safe, preferably before the next heavy rain, to document damage and prevent leaks. Most hail issues start as hidden shingle bruises or dented metal flashing that slowly let water in. If water is entering now or decking feels soft, treat it as urgent and request emergency tarping while a full assessment is planned. Our team frequently performs hail assessments for homeowners across the Reading area, and we can assist with insurance documentation using photos and video. If an active leak is present, we offer same-day emergency service and temporary protection.

Schedule right away if you notice:

• New ceiling spots or drip marks
• Excess granules in gutters or at downspouts
• Dented gutters, vents, or flashing
• Cracked, loosened, or missing shingles
• Branch impacts or punctures

Stay off the roof and take ground-level photos while you arrange a professional inspection. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-03 <br/> Need help in Reading, PA? Call (610) 549-4063 or book online. "Received service same day for a semi emergency roof damage/repair." — Matt B.
