Hail damage dent removal after a heavy hailstorm

A heavy hailstorm can cause significant damage to the exterior of your commercial building. Roofs and facades made of aluminum sandwich panels and roof cladding are often the main targets. Are you a business owner who has recently experienced a severe hailstorm? You may recognize the dents or damage to your building. Hail damage dent removal is no easy task, but fortunately, it can be resolved quickly and professionally.

What kind of damage can a hailstorm cause?

Aluminum sandwich panels and roof cladding are widely used in commercial buildings like warehouses, factories, garages, and other industrial structures. These materials are strong and lightweight, providing good protection against various weather conditions. However, even the best cladding isn’t always resistant to the force of a heavy hailstorm. Large hailstones can cause dents in your roof or facade. This can lead to:

  • Dents in roof cladding and facades: One of the most visible forms of damage after a hailstorm is the dents in the sandwich panels or roof cladding. These dents can be small, but they can also cause significant damage, especially if a lot of hail falls within a short period.
  • Coating damage: The coating on aluminum panels provides extra protection against rust and weather elements. Hail can damage this coating, reducing its effectiveness.
  • Deformed panels: The force of the hail can cause the material to slightly deform, preventing the panels from fitting properly. This can allow moisture or dirt to get under the cladding, potentially leading to additional damage over time.

What are the consequences of hail damage?

Hail damage to your roof or facade is not just about annoying dents. If the damage is not addressed quickly, the consequences can be worse than you initially think. Dents and damages can lead to:

  • Leaks: Dents and deformations can cause cracks, allowing water to seep into the roof or facade. This can lead to leaks, moisture problems, and mold growth.
  • Faster wear and tear of the cladding: When the protective layer of the sandwich panels is damaged, the material beneath is more easily affected by moisture and dirt. This causes the cladding to wear out faster, leading to more expensive repairs.
  • Reduced insulation: Sandwich panels not only provide protection from the outside but also have insulating properties. Hail damage can affect the insulating value of the panels, resulting in higher energy costs.

How can you remove hail damage dents?

If your building has suffered hail damage, it is essential to take action quickly. Hail damage dent removal is a specialized task, especially for large surfaces like roof cladding or aluminum facade panels. Fortunately, there are several solutions to quickly restore the damage:

  1. Inspection of the damage: The first step is always a thorough inspection of your roof or facade. This provides insight into the extent of the damage and allows us to create a suitable repair plan. At Van Heemskerk, we visit your site to assess the hail damage and propose an appropriate solution.
  2. Dent removal from panels: In many cases, dents in the panels can be removed without replacing the entire cladding. Special tools and techniques are used to restore the panels to their original shape.
  3. Repair of coatings: If the protective coating on the aluminum panels is damaged, it can be reapplied. This ensures the panels are well protected against future weather conditions.
  4. Replacement of damaged parts: In some cases, it may be necessary to replace heavily damaged parts of the roof cladding or sandwich panels. This is only done if dent removal is insufficient to repair the damage.

Why it’s important to act quickly

As a business owner, you know that damage to your commercial building can lead to high costs. This is also true for hail damage to your roof or facade. The longer the dents and damages remain, the greater the chance that additional problems will arise, such as leaks or accelerated wear. That’s why it’s essential to intervene immediately and have the hail damage removed. This will not only save you time and money in the long run but also ensure that your building looks neat and is well protected against future storms.
