Why Speed Matters After Hail & Storm Damage in Wichita
After a major hail or storm event in Wichita, every hour counts. Damaged roofs expose your home to water intrusion. Broken windows allow rain and debris inside. Secondary water damage leads to mold growth within 24-48 hours. And storm chasers begin door-knocking within hours.
The September 3, 2025 hailstorm dropped baseball-size hail across the Wichita metro, damaging 100,000+ homes and generating over $2 billion in claims. Kansas experiences 312+ hail events annually — the highest in the nation.
