Hail Damage Assessment
What a SeekNow hail damage
roof inspection documents.
Hail damage assessment requires field expertise — not just photos. Our HAAG-certified inspectors are trained to identify and document every category of hail impact in a standardized, claims-ready format. Part of our broader roof inspection company capabilities.
Hail Strike Size & Density
Documented hail stone size ranges, strike density per slope, and standardized hail test squares — the foundational data carriers need for loss determination.
Granule Loss Documentation
Granule displacement is the primary indicator of functional damage to asphalt shingles. We document granule loss by slope with photo evidence at the material level.
Roof Material Type & Age
Material classification (asphalt, metal, tile, TPO, etc.), estimated roof age, and overall pre-storm condition — context that shapes the loss determination.
Wind Co-Damage Assessment
Hail and wind events almost always occur together. We document wind indicators — missing shingles, lifted tabs, damaged ridge cap — alongside hail findings in a single integrated report.
Flashing, Gutters & Accessories
Hail damage to soft metal accessories (gutters, downspouts, flashing, vents, AC units) is often the clearest evidence of a qualifying event. Documented and photo-verified.
Roof Scope & Measurements
High-accuracy roof sketch with total square calculations, slope measurements, and QC-reviewed dimensions — ready to feed directly into the estimate workflow.
Why SeekNow
Hail damage inspection built
for claims, not just assessment.
The difference between a hail inspection that closes a file and one that opens a dispute is standardization, credentials, and documentation quality. SeekNow delivers all three.
HAAG-Certified Inspectors
HAAG certification is the industry standard for forensic hail damage assessment. Our inspectors are credentialed and trained to identify damage that holds up under carrier and legal scrutiny.
Standardized Every Time
Every hail inspection follows the same 150+ data point protocol. Whether we're completing 10 inspections or 10,000 in a storm corridor, the output is consistent and defensible.
CAT Surge Ready
Large hail events don't wait. SeekNow maintains an always-on deployment model — 1,000+ inspectors mobilizing to storm corridors within hours, not days.
Defensible Documentation
Structured findings, photo evidence tied to specific data points, and QC-reviewed reports — documentation that reduces disputes and protects claim decisions downstream.
Ground Truth vs. Imagery
What aerial data can't tell you about hail damage.
Aerial imagery and hail maps can indicate that a storm passed over a property. What they cannot do is verify that the roof sustained functional damage — the specific material-level evidence that a hail damage claim requires.
Granule displacement, bruising beneath the mat, and strike density on soft metal accessories are not visible from above. They require a credentialed inspector on the roof with eyes on the material.
Field verification confirms functional damage, not just storm proximity
HAAG-certified findings carry weight in disputed claims and appraisals
Soft metal accessory documentation provides corroborating evidence
Standardized reports reduce rework loops and downstream disputes

Common Questions
Hail damage inspection,
answered directly.
A SeekNow hail damage roof inspection captures 150+ structured data points, with specific focus on hail strike size and density, granule displacement by slope, hail test square documentation, soft metal accessory damage (gutters, vents, flashing, AC units), wind co-damage indicators, roof material type and estimated age, and overall pre-loss condition. Every finding is documented with photo evidence and structured into a standardized, QC-reviewed report.
SeekNow hail damage inspection reports are delivered in under 48 hours from the scheduled inspection date. Field time varies by property size and complexity, but our proprietary capture technology ensures inspectors collect every required data point before leaving the property — no re-inspections due to incomplete submissions.
A standard roof inspection assesses general condition — age, wear, maintenance needs. A hail damage inspection is forensic in nature: it documents specific evidence of a qualifying weather event to support or refute an insurance claim. This requires HAAG certification, specific documentation protocols (hail test squares, granule counts, soft metal assessment), and a report format structured for claims adjudication rather than general condition reporting.
Yes — this is a core SeekNow capability. We maintain an always-on network of 1,000+ field inspectors who can be deployed simultaneously to storm corridors. Our surge readiness model means we don't rebuild capacity after each event — the network is active and mobilizable within hours of a hail event. Carriers rely on us specifically because we maintain consistent data quality at surge scale, not just during normal daily volume.
Aerial imagery and hail path data can confirm that a storm occurred near a property. What they cannot verify is functional damage at the material level — granule displacement, bruising beneath the shingle mat, soft metal denting, and the specific density and size of hail strikes required for a loss determination. Complex or disputed hail claims require field-verified evidence from a credentialed inspector on the roof. SeekNow provides exactly that: HAAG-certified ground truth that holds up under adjuster review and, if needed, appraisal or litigation.
Yes. SeekNow offers FastEstimate as an add-on with every hail inspection — our technology automatically converts structured field data into a draft estimate within 60 seconds of inspection completion. Adjusters review, approve deviations, and close. We also offer full human-reviewed estimate writing for claims that require a more hands-on approach. Both options are available through a single SeekNow engagement.
