Weather-related damage to your home- Roofing Systems

Your roofing system is like an umbrella that shelters you from the rain.  

Ensure that there is no debris blocking the smooth flow of water from your roof. Sometimes strong winds can blow away downspouts and enable water to flow directly onto roof shingles, or too close to the foundation. Tiny gaps, shingle deterioration or worn out seals can let moisture in.  

Most Home insurance policies do not cover water leaks due to weather.  The qualifying factor has to be whether or not the weather (hail, strong winds, rain, snow) has "caused" the roof to leak. Roofing specialists can diagnose the problem and assist in repairs. Interior ceiling water stains mean that water has seeped into your home. A minimal invasive diagnosis is necessary to ensure that the ceiling structure is dry enough to eliminate mould growth. 

A preferred vendor who is used by your insurance company will make it easier to claim expenses if you are covered for a claim.
