Hail
Hail action plan
Hailstorms often bring strong winds, heavy rains, and the potential for property damage. Hail can damage building roofs and roof-top equipment like air conditioners, vents, skylights, and heating units, and can also lead to inside water damage and service disruption — all of which can negatively affect your business’ day-to-day operations.
While hail storms cannot be prevented, there are ways your business can protect its facility and equipment from potential damage. Use our hail action plan to learn about:
- Different roof covering types and their impact resistance
- Recommendations on how to protect your facility and rooftop equipment
- Suggestions for renovations or new construction projects
Safeguarding your business against hailstorms can help minimize damage and result in a quicker recovery in the event of a loss.
