Damage Assessment

Hail reached sizes large enough to cause visible property damage across Levelland. Hail greater than one inch can dent vehicle panels and break unsecured glass. At the measured peak size, expect localized shingle loss on asphalt roofs, bruising or tearing of soft commercial roof membranes, and impact damage to skylights and exterior trim.

Inspect parked vehicles, RVs, and agricultural equipment first. Check high-exposure roof slopes on residences and commercial buildings where hail accumulation and repeated impacts are likely. Note impact patterns and collect dated photographs for each affected asset. Photograph intact but damaged materials next to undamaged areas to document contrast.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize safety and documentation. Confirm ladder and roof access conditions before starting any inspection. Wear eye protection and follow standard fall-protection procedures. Record GPS coordinates for each inspection point and take close-up and context photos. Use a consistent naming convention for files and include timestamps. Provide clients with an itemized checklist of observed impacts and suggested next steps.

For repairs, match materials to existing assemblies and document any replacements with serial numbers or manufacturer data where possible. Temporary tarps and coverings should be installed only after recording pre-repair conditions. Coordinate with property owners on insurer requirements before removing storm-damaged materials. Expect increased claim activity in Levelland following this event and plan crew schedules accordingly.
