Document hail and wind indicators fast - with a repeatable, field-ready process

Use this checklist each time you evaluate possible hail and wind damage to structures. It helps you capture collateral evidence, patterns, and building/failure indicators consistently, even when the site visit is moving fast.
What's Inside

What to check and document in the order you’ll see it on-site

Wind: Evidence of damaging winds surrounding the structure

Pattern check: Indicators of mechanical, manufactured, or man-made damage

Loose elements: Document connection method + condition of the material being connected to

Hail collateral evidence: Vegetation tears, screen holes, spatter, marring, and soft-metal indentations with corresponding hail spatter

Cracks: Photograph cracks in detail

Crack mapping: Document cracks in drywall, plaster, and concrete (identify on a floor plan + sketch general appearance)

Structural context: Finishes often crack before studs/roof framing/foundation are damaged

Weak points: Garage doors and gable ends - damages can manifest here first
