Insurance Provider Offers Guidance to Help Homeowners Avoid Costly Repairs During Hail Season
"Many homeowners don't realize how vulnerable their property can be until after a storm hits," said Steve Bennett, Sr. Director, Climate and Catastrophe Science. "Our goal is to empower Mercury policyholders with practical knowledge so they can take action before hail causes damage � not after. Preparation doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, and it can save you thousands of dollars down the line."
Key Tips to Protect Your Home from Hail:
- Inspect and reinforce your roof: Regularly check for loose or missing shingles and consider installing impact-resistant roofing materials if you live in a high-risk area.
- The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) is a leading authority on resilience standards and best practices for protecting homes from hail damage. Use shingles rated "Good" or "Excellent" on the IBHS Roof Shingle Hail Impact Ratings or consider upgrading to a FORTIFIED roof, which features not only impact-resistant shingles but also enhanced nailing patterns, sealed roof decks and other wind- and water-protection features.
- Secure outdoor items: Hailstorms and windstorms often occur together, so bring in patio furniture, potted plants and garden tools when hail is in the forecast to prevent flying debris from causing damage.
- Protect windows and skylights: Install shutters or hail-resistant window film to minimize the chance of breakage.
- Trim nearby trees: Remove weak branches and keep trees well-maintained to prevent falling limbs during a storm.
- Park vehicles in a garage or under cover when storms are in the forecast. This helps prevent costly hail damage to your car, which may also impact your homeowners insurance deductible if the vehicle is parked on your property.
