Hailstorm Alley
Calgary is located in an area with specific geography that makes it more prone to severe thunderstorms than any other place in Canada. “Hailstorm Alley” receives approximately 3 times more major storm events, an average of 5 hailstorms per year. We are surrounded by high elevation winds from the mountains to our west, cold winds coming from the north, and humidity from the south. The perfect conditions to produce hail. If those hailstones grow large enough, and if they happen to fall on your home, they will undoubtedly cause damage. As homeowners, all we can do is try to be prepared. Proper insurance coverage, hail resilient materials and a contractor who knows how to handle hail damage repairs can all help.
HAAG Certified Since 2013
Haag is the worldwide industry standard for wind and hail inspections. Most insurance providers now require all inspectors to be Haag Certified. Our hail inspections include test squares on multiple roof slopes, photos of all the storm damage, manufacturer and colour matches, diagrams (also known as takeoffs) indicating locations and quantity of impacted materials, plus an estimate for repairs or replacement required. All provided in a full inspection report in the format insurance companies require. The report is then sent to your adjuster providing a concise and accurate depiction of storm damage to your property. If you, or your adjuster, have any questions we are happy to help.
