Roof Damage in Indianapolis

(Hail, Wind, and Water)

Indianapolis weather can be rough on a roof...

Hail, high winds, and heavy rain each cause their own kind of damage, and often more than one hit at once. Midwest Exterior inspects, documents, and repairs storm-damaged roofs and helps homeowners navigate the insurance claims process along the way.

Hail Damage

Hailstones don't need to be large to hurt a roof — even small pieces can chip or crack shingles when wind drives them against the surface. Some of that damage is easy to spot, like a broken shingle or a dented gutter, but a lot of it isn't visible from ground level. A trained inspector knows where to look.

What we check for after a hailstorm

Cracked, broken, or missing shingles
Bent or dislodged flashing
Sealant that's cracked or starting to peel
A damaged or missing chimney cap
Standing water pooling on the roof

We strongly advise against getting up on your own roof to take a look at the damage following a hail storm. Leave it to the professionals, who have received extensive safety training. We can inspect your roof and carry out any repair work necessary, while your feet stay safely on the ground.

Wind Damage

Strong wind can loosen or tear away shingles, bend flashing, and expose the layers underneath that are meant to stay protected. The higher the wind speed, the more specific and severe the damage tends to be, and it's rarely a single-cause problem — wind is often paired with driving rain, hail, or falling branches, which compounds the harm.

Shingle roofs are more vulnerable to wind than metal roofing, and the early warning signs — a lifted shingle here, a small leak there — are easy to miss until they turn into a bigger repair. Our team inspects for both obvious and hidden wind damage and documents everything (including the date, time, and local conditions) to support your insurance claim.

Water Damage & Restoration

Water damage rarely announces itself in advance — a burst pipe, a hard rain, or a frozen line can all cause sudden flooding, and left unaddressed it spreads fast and can lead to mold growth. Restoring a property properly takes the right equipment and a methodical process, not just a mop and a fan.

How the restoration process works

Inspect the property to find the source and extent of the water, and set up containment if needed
Remove standing water with pumps or industrial vacuums
Dehumidify the affected areas and monitor moisture levels in walls, ceilings, and flooring
Clean and sanitize to prevent mold, mildew, and bacterial growth
Repair or replace damaged materials to bring the property back to its pre-damaged condition

Why it's worth calling a professional

Avoids costly mold remediation down the line
Reduces health risks from bacteria that grow in standing water
Protects your property's value
Often cheaper than letting damage spread unchecked

We run 24/7 emergency water restoration service, work directly with insurance companies on your behalf, and offer financing on approved credit.
