<p>Alberta sits in one of the most hail-prone regions in Canada, and the Calgary area in particular sees a concentrated hail season through the summer months. Even hail that looks minor from the ground can bruise the mat beneath a shingle's surface granules, which weakens the shingle without necessarily creating a visible hole — meaning damage isn't always obvious until it starts leaking months or years later.</p>
<p>In practice, this usually means acting within days of a storm rather than weeks — photograph the damage from the ground, avoid climbing onto the roof yourself, and get a professional inspection scheduled before you file or finalize a claim. The documentation you gather early on tends to matter more than anything you do later in the process.</p>
<p>Having your own independent roofing inspection report before the adjuster visits can help make sure nothing gets missed.</p>
