Ohf, [ air hose hissing ] this is about two inches, at 80. PSI,

Today we’re going to be doing a fun little experiment
to show you what exactly happens to your roof
during a hail storm.

To help us demonstrate
that we have our hail cannon and we also have
our two inch hail.

Say Hello to my little friend.

[ makes shooting sound ]

So you can see here where our hailstone
hit our test board.

It almost kind of looks like
a bruise to the shingle. Right.

So what happens when it hits is it displaces

some of the granules in
that area, exposing the asphalt.

Once that asphalt is exposed to the UV rays, it’s
going to dry out over time.

Then exposing the fiberglass backing in that fiberglass

is going to act like a sponge
anytime it comes into contact with any moisture,
eventually working its way into your attic space
and into your home.

So if you think you were affected by hail
damage, good news is you don’t have
to get on the roof to verify.

You can look for what we in the industry call collateral damage.

So we’re going to look
for damage to our downspouts, our gutters,
window screens, AC units.

Fencing is always a really good indicator.

And vehicles as well.

Chances are if your vehicle got damaged and your roof probably took some sort of damage as well.

Give us a call for a free roof inspection and get one of our consultants out to see you today.

inspection today.

We build tough roofs.
