What to Do After a Hailstorm in Wentzville

A clear, calm checklist for after the storm passes — how to stay safe, protect your home, and handle a roof insurance claim the right way.

1. Stay Safe First

Wait until the storm fully passes. Watch for downed power lines and standing water, and don't climb on the roof — wet, hail-struck roofs are dangerous. Leave the roof inspection to a pro.

2. Look for Obvious Damage

From the ground, check for dented gutters and vents, shingle granules washed into downspouts, and damaged siding, screens, or vehicles. Dents on metal surfaces are a strong clue your roof took hail too.

3. Document Everything

Photograph any visible damage and note the storm date. This becomes useful evidence if you file an insurance claim.

4. Get a Free Professional Inspection

Most hail damage isn't visible from the ground, so have a roofer inspect before deciding anything. RoofWorx provides free, no-obligation storm inspections across Wentzville and the surrounding area.

5. File the Claim (If There's Damage)

If there's covered damage, we help you file and meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing is missed. On an approved claim you typically pay only your deductible. Mind the filing deadline — Missouri policies have windows.

Beware of Storm Chasers

Out-of-town crews flood the area after big storms, take the insurance money, and disappear. Choose a local, ICC-certified roofer who'll be here for warranty work — like us, based right here at 116 May Road.
