Insurance Provider Offers Guidance to Help Homeowners Avoid Costly Repairs During Hail Season
LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mercury Insurance is helping homeowners prepare for hail season with simple, proactive tips to protect their homes and avoid costly repairs. As hailstorms grow more costly in many parts of the country, taking a few preventative steps can make a big difference in safeguarding your property and finances.
"Many homeowners don't realize how vulnerable their property can be until after a storm hits," said Steve Bennett, Sr. Director, Climate and Catastrophe Science. "Our goal is to empower Mercury policyholders with practical knowledge so they can take action before hail causes damage — not after. Preparation doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, and it can save you thousands of dollars down the line."
Key Tips to Protect Your Home from Hail:
- Inspect and reinforce your roof: Regularly check for loose or missing shingles and consider installing impact-resistant roofing materials if you live in a high-risk area.
Why Hail Preparedness Matters:
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, hail causes billions of dollars in property damage each year in the United States, and 2025 is already tracking to be one of the most active hail seasons in recent years.
Mercury encourages homeowners to review their insurance policies ahead of hail season to ensure they understand their coverage and deductible options.
