What Happens to Your Homeowners Insurance Claim After a Tarrant Country Hailstorm? 

A hailstorm can leave behind a surprising amount of damage, cracked shingles, dented gutters, broken skylights and more, all within minutes. If your home has taken a hit, knowing what comes next makes the insurance claims process far less stressful.

Are Hailstorms Covered by a Homeowners Policy?

A standard policy can include dwelling coverage, which pays to repair or replace the structure of your home when it is damaged by hail and other risks such as fires, theft or vandalism. Depending on your policy, you may also have coverage for:

• Detached structures in your property such as fences, garages and sheds
• Personal items inside the home that are damaged by water intrusion following a hail strike
• Additional living expenses if the damage forces you to temporarily relocate

Your deductible may apply before your insurer pays out. Some policies also carry a separate, higher deductible specifically for wind and hail claims. Review your declarations page carefully to avoid any surprises.

What Else Should I Consider?

Document everything before repairs begin. Take photos and videos of the damage from multiple angles, note the date of the storm and save any repair estimates you receive. Report the claim promptly, as delays can complicate coverage determinations. An adjuster will inspect the damage and provide an estimate. You may ask questions or request a re-inspection.
