Georgia hail rarely leaves a hole — it leaves bruising. Here’s what to actually look for before you decide whether to call your insurance company.
What hail damage really looks like
Granules collecting in your gutters, soft or dimpled spots on shingles, dented gutters or downspouts, and cracked or missing shingle tabs near roof edges are the big four. Damaged flashing around vents and chimneys is another giveaway adjusters look for first.
Hail bruising — a circular impact mark where granules have been knocked loose.Real hail hits are random in size and spacing, concentrated on the slopes facing the storm.
Damage that’s invisible from your driveway can still qualify for a full replacement — and waiting can shrink your claim window.
If a storm rolled through your area in the last few weeks, it’s worth a free inspection before you file or skip a claim.
