Hail damage – Advice from your Desjardins Agent

How to limit damage

After a hailstorm, you may be able to prevent further damage. Above all stay safe!

  • Check for damage
    Carry out any emergency repairs. For example, board up broken windows to avoid water infiltration. Contact a roofer* if any repairs to the roof are needed.
  • Secure the premises
    Pick up branches and other debris that could cause injury or damage.
  • Contact a tree pruner
    If you have a tree that is damaged or likely to fall and cause damage, call a professional.*
  • Make an inventory of your damaged property
