The Most Reliable Information Available

This level of detail helps you avoid costly mistakes, build a reputation for reliability, and solidify your position as a trusted expert in your area.

Why Accurate Weather Data Is Critical for Claims

Establishing Cause and Severity of Damage

Insurance claims hinge on proving the damage was caused by a covered peril. Get verifiable data on wind speeds and hail sizes at the exact property address to help:

  • Confirm whether a storm occurred on the reported date.
  • Differentiate storm damage from pre-existing wear and tear.
  • Link a specific hail size to the expected damage (e.g., hail larger than 1" often causes shingle damage).
nuvem

Ensuring Fair Settlements and Documentation

Verifiable weather data helps to support a fair and efficient claims process. It's the objective evidence needed to:

  • Reduce disputes by providing a neutral source of truth.
  • Support a fair settlement, preventing both overpayment and underpayment.
  • Provide thorough, verifiable documentation for the claim file.
Insurance ready with every report.

Understanding Wind & Hail Classifications

Our reports provide precise data on wind speed and hail size, including the relevant classifications. We also factor in the property’s elevation, which can influence localized wind patterns and weather events.

Wind Speed Classifications

We use the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to classify wind speeds, providing a clear reference for the storm’s intensity:

  • Tropical Storm: 39-73 mph
  • Category 1: 74-95 mph
  • Category 2: 96-110 mph
  • Category 3: 111-129 mph
  • Category 4: 130-156 mph
  • Category 5: 157+ mph

Hail Size Classifications

Our reports document hail size with both inches and common names, so you can easily communicate the severity of a hailstorm:

  • Pea: 0.25 inches
  • Marble: 0.50 inches
  • Penny: 0.75 inches
  • Quarter: 1.0 inches
  • Golf Ball: 1.75 inches
  • Baseball: 2.75 inches
  • Softball: 4.0 inches

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a weather history report help my roofing business?

A weather history report gives you a documented, data-backed record of wind and hail events at a specific property address, letting you validate a claim, build a defensible estimate and provide homeowners or adjusters with objective evidence rather than relying on undocumented assertions.

What historical weather data is included in the reports?

Reports cover three years of hail and wind activity for a specific address, including hail size, wind speed and the dates storms occurred. Data is updated daily and covers events within a 3-mile radius of the searched property.

Where does the weather data come from?

Weather history data is provided by Canopy Weather, an independent storm analytics platform. Using a third-party source means the data carries the credibility of a neutral provider rather than relying on the contractor's own documentation.

What is weather data used for in an insurance claim?

Weather data helps establish whether a covered storm event occurred on the claimed date, differentiate storm damage from pre-existing wear and tear and link specific hail sizes or wind speeds to the type of damage observed. It gives both sides a neutral source of truth and reduces disputes.

How do I get certified weather records for a roofing claim?
