When inclement weather or unexpected incidents leave your roof in a state of disrepair, you might find yourself on the verge of submitting a roof insurance claim. However, the process can be complex and overwhelming. As Arrow Roofing – the leading roofing company in Arizona, we want to arm homeowners with the knowledge they need. Here’s a rundown of how to spot and document roof damage to ensure a smoother insurance claim process.
How to Spot Roof Damage
Identifying roof damage is the first step. Here are a couple of signs to look for:
- Broken or missing shingles
- Damaged flashing around vents, skylights, and chimneys
- Accumulation of granules in the gutters
- Wet spots or water stains on the ceiling or walls
- Documenting Roof Damage
Photographs can provide clear evidence of the damage, so always take photos before any repair is done. Photos should contain a date and time stamp for proof of when the damage occurred.
Understanding Roofing Insurance Claims
Roofing claims can be filed for a variety of reasons, including damage due to:
- Harsh weather such as hailstorms, tornadoes, or high wind
- Fires
- Vandalism or theft
- Timing of Roofing Claims
The length of time to process a claim can depend on the insurance company and the extent of the damage. It could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. However, once the claim is approved, most roof repairs, especially those involving shingle replacement, can be completed within 2-5 days.
Modifying or Canceling Claims
Insurance providers typically allow policyholders to cancel or modify a claim after it’s been submitted. But specifics should be discussed directly with your provider to understand their rules.
