Hailstorms in June routinely produce golf ball to baseball-sized stones across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado. For commercial buildings with TPO, EPDM, or built-up flat roof assemblies, even 1-inch hail can puncture the membrane and open the building to immediate water intrusion.
The Secondary Damage Problem
The hail itself is rarely the worst cost driver. It is the water that enters through the perforated membrane over the following days. A 20,000 sq ft commercial roof with 40 impact punctures can absorb thousands of gallons before an adjuster writes the first estimate.
Emergency Shrink Wrap as First Defense
StormWrappers crews can install a full-building temporary enclosure within hours of a hail event, buying the property owner time to complete the claims process without accepting ongoing moisture intrusion.
Coordinating with Your Insurance Carrier
Most commercial property policies include an emergency mitigation provision. Shrink wrap installation documentation satisfies most carriers’ emergency repair requirements and supports timely claims settlement.
