Windows, screens, siding, and outdoor HVAC fins for impact damage.
Interior ceilings for staining that can appear after hail-damaged roofing leaks.
What to do in the first 24 hours
Do not re-enter until local authorities confirm the structure is safe.
Document everything before any cleanup begins — photograph and video the exterior, each affected room, and the full extent of the damage.
Keep damaged materials and contents where it is safe to do so until they can be inspected.
Keep receipts for any emergency mitigation work (pumping, drying, tarping, board-up).
Contact your insurance company to report the loss, and write down the claim number and every adjuster's name and contact information.
How ACI Adjustment Group can help
ACI Adjustment Group is a licensed public adjusting firm in Pennsylvania that represents property and business owners — never the insurance company. When a claim is denied, underpaid, or built on a single insurer inspection, ACI's licensed public adjusters independently document the loss, read the policy, and re-present the claim with the evidence behind it.
ACI Adjustment Group offers a free inspection of your damage and a straightforward explanation of your options. If your Pennsylvania property was damaged in this event, call ACI Adjustment Group at 1-800-809-4302.
