💧 Why You Should Get a Home Inspection After a Major Storm

When storms roll through Middle Tennessee, they can leave more than just fallen branches and power outages in their wake. From wind and hail to heavy rain and flash flooding, severe weather can cause damage that isn’t always visible at first glance.

If you live in Nashville or the surrounding area, a post-storm home inspection can help you identify hidden issues before they turn into costly repairs.

At Hill’s Top Home Inspections, we specialize in storm damage evaluations—whether it’s your first inspection or a follow-up after Mother Nature takes a swing.

🌪️ What Kind of Storms Are We Talking About?

In the Nashville area, we’re prone to:

• Hail storms

• High winds and tornadoes

• Lightning strikes

• Flash flooding and heavy rain

These events can cause damage to:

• Roofs

• Siding and gutters

• Windows and seals

• Foundations and crawlspaces

• Electrical and HVAC systems

🔍 What We Check After a Storm

A post-storm home inspection includes many of the same components as a standard home inspection, with special attention to weather-related issues:

🏠 Roof & Exterior

• Missing, damaged, or lifted shingles

• Hail impacts on shingles, vents, and flashing

• Gutter damage or blockages

• Siding cracks, dents, or separation

🌬️ Windows & Doors

• Broken seals or cracked panes

• Water intrusion around frames

💧 Foundation & Drainage

• Saturated or shifting soil

• Standing water near the home

• Moisture in the crawlspace or basement

⚡ Electrical & HVAC

• Lightning surge damage

• HVAC damage from debris or water

• Tripped breakers or exposed wiring

🧠 Why It’s Worth Doing (Even If You Don’t See Damage)

Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Problems often develop weeks or months later and can impact your home’s safety, structure, or even resale value.

Benefits of a Post-Storm Inspection:

• Catch hidden water or roof leaks early

• Identify hail damage for potential insurance claims

• Confirm safety of electrical and HVAC systems

• Provide documentation for future buyers or insurers

👉 Insurance companies may require proof of damage for filing a claim. Our reports provide timestamped photos and professional recommendations.
