Did Your Home or Business Suffer Damage as Result of a Roof Leak?

Roof Leaks can develop for a variety of reasons, and none are more common than the dangerous and damaging winds, heavy rain, and storms that parts of the United States experience year round — especially during the lengthy annual Hurricane season.

Roof repairs and replacement are expensive projects that many home, business, and condo owners cannot afford out of pocket as a leak begins destroying their structural integrity and interior property drop by drop.

What Are The Most Common Causes Of Roof Leak Damages?

Roof damage is often covered by home or business owners’ insurance policies when certain perils cause your losses.

Commonly covered perils may include: 

  • Chimney damage
  • Fire
  • Hail damage
  • Heavy or continuous and sustained rainfall
  • High winds
  • Hurricane damage
  • Lightning damage
  • Damage from raccoons or another animal
  • Tree collapses, falling limbs or other debris
  • Vandalism or malicious mischief

Roofs on unattached structures on your property, including a detached garage, shed, or another edifice may also be covered by the same insurance policy if the damage is caused by a covered peril.

However, insurance policies generally do not cover damage resulting from the lack of maintenance or wear and tear, which may be the insurance company’s stated source of loss —which could allow them to deny your claim.

At StormClaim.com, our experienced Rook Leak Insurance Claims Adjusters will focus on assessing your damages to establish how your whole property will be affected if these damages are not repaired quickly, to put the necessary pressure on your insurance company to resolve your claim.

What Should I Do After Discovering A Roof Leak On My Home Or Business?

If your home or business’s roof is leaking, further damage is not far behind.

As soon as you discover a leaking roof: 

  • Cover the leak as quickly as possible, or contact a professional who can provide a safe and temporary solution
  • Move all valuables out of harm’s way
  • Mop up water or use a wet vac to prevent further damage
  • Use a bucket or leak-proof container to catch any water that continues to drip
  • Use a fan to help evaporate water that could lead to mold damage

Unresolved Roof Leak Insurance Claims Can Lead To Extensive Losses

Roof leaks should not go unrepaired for long, as they will only continue or escalate causing significant damage with each passing day.

If your insurance company is delaying their response to your roof leak, things are only going to get worse while they avoid contact, devalue your claim, or stall their approval.

When time passes, and your roof leak remains, severe damage can occur, including:

  • Attic and ceiling damage
  • Interior mold and mildew issues
  • Wiring and fire hazards from water damage
  • Compromised structural integrity
  • Slip and fall hazards inside homes and businesses creating liability concerns
