Free for homeowners. We route your request to one local roofing pro who works storm damage around Festus — one contact, never a call-list blast.

NWS records are point and path observations. The absence of a nearby report does NOT prove that no hail fell at this address — it means no observation was logged nearby. A report of nearby hail documents the event; it does not by itself prove damage to a specific structure.
