Home insurance in Kansas is your policy, your deductible, and the claim plains hail keeps putting back on the table. There is nowhere for a storm to hide. It matures over open country and drops stones on whatever roof is standing there, farmstead or cul-de-sac. The declarations page is the only statewide document that matters to your house. Have it open. A neighbor story from another county is not your policy.
Read the deductible before the call, and look for a hail or wind deductible that is not the same as the everyday one. If the page does not show that split, say you looked. Do not supply a figure from memory because the gutter looks dimpled. If a claim is open, say what you have already sent. If you are hesitating, say that the deductible is why. Hesitation is reasonable. Guessing is how the conversation goes in circles while the bruise is still readable.
What you photograph is the claim, as much as the slope is. Downspouts full of granules, gutters with dents along the weather side, window screens holed, an outdoor coil with fins folded shut, siding that shows a scatter of dings. Shelterbelt trees may have spared one face and exposed another. Say so. Western exposure and eastern tree cover are not the same house, even when the storm had one name on the radio.
Take those pictures from the ground the day it happens. Hail evidence gets rained on, blown out of gutters, and explained away as age. Note which side of the house took the stones and whether the basement or the upstairs showed water afterward. Water after hail is a different sentence on a policy from bruises alone, and you should not mash them together to sound more serious. Accurate is the whole game.
Kansas will send another core across open ground. If you are holding a marked house and a deductible you do not want to misread, call with the page and the list of what you can see without a ladder. Your policy, your address, your claim. Call the number on this page.
