In 2010, Calgary, Alberta faced a severe hailstorm bringing hailstones almost four centimeters wide, smashing a national record for damage expenses. The powerful hail that dented cars and damaged homes and businesses, resulted in over 60,000 insurance claims totaling over $400 million – a record amount for a hailstorm in Canada, according to the National Insurance Bureau. Following this storm, we are proud to say that Enviroshake had zero warranty claims.
