How much life is left in my Mobile roof?
Typical lifespans are published ranges for each material; for a Mobile house, real life also depends on installation, attic ventilation and the weather Mobile gets.
If insurance covers it, what do I pay in Mobile?
Only if the claim is approved. The ACV math is a straight-line example over a 25-year life; insurers writing Mobile policies use their own schedules, so check your policy.
Has hail hit my Mobile roof since it was installed?
County-level hail reports for Mobile from the NOAA archive this page uses; a county report is not proof of damage at your Mobile address.

Roof Leaking Right Now?
Do these three things in the next hour, then send your request below.
- Move valuables out from under the leak, put a bucket under the drip, and cut power at the breaker to any area where water is near an outlet or fixture — if you can do that safely.
- Stay off the roof. A wet or storm-damaged roof is a fall hazard, day or night — leave the climbing to a licensed contractor.
- Take dated photos and video of the damage, inside and out, before you clean anything up — insurance claims usually need this.
Wind-driven rain from Mobile's tropical-storm season does most of its damage at the ridge, flashing, and roof penetrations — spots that look fine from the street but let water in until a leak shows on the ceiling below. Homeowners policies typically cover sudden hail and wind events in a high-risk area like Mobile, but insurers expect a claim within a year of the event — get a contractor to document damage before it weathers away.
