Things to Remember About Storm Damage Insurance Claims
Has your home received unexpected damage from a storm?
The weather can be very hard to predict, so you’ll never know exactly when a storm will hit your area. Unfortunately, a storm can seriously damage your roof. Damaged roofs cause costly water leaks, so you should act quickly and hire a storm damage expert to repair your roof. Here are a few storm damage insurance claims tips every homeowner should know.
- Look for Damage as Soon as You Can – Even if your roof looks intact from outside, there could be significant damage to your roofing system. You should act quickly and call a reputable professional like us to inspect your roof if you suspect that it is damaged. As soon as it is safe to do so, get your roof inspected.
- Document All the Details – You will need to take pictures and notes of all the damaged areas of your roof. In some cases, your roofing contractor will be able to assist with this task. This documentation will help you with your insurance claim and help you figure out if you need a roof replacement or a roof repair. Your insurance company needs as much information as possible.
- Contact Your Insurance Company – You should contact your insurance company as quickly as possible once you have documented the damage to your roof. Some insurance companies have a time limit on how long you can file a claim. Make sure to read your insurance policy carefully so you can understand your rights and responsibilities.
