The Age-Old Question: When Did That Hail Damage Occur?

This episode of PLRB on Demand will feature Bob Whelan, Principal Consultant at Donan. Bob's presentation, "The Age-Old Question: When Did That Hail Damage Occur?," has been adapted for this podcast. It's not uncommon for parties investigating a hail damage claim to asphalt shingle roofs to ask the question: how old is the damage?   The answer to this question is particularly useful if an insured recently changed insurance carriers.  Join Bob Whelan as he describes testing conducted by Donan to investigate the visual characteristics of degradation to asphalt shingles from a hailstone strike and shares what they learned.  Using the information gleaned from this testing, insurers can become better at determining when hail damage to asphalt shingles occurred.
