Please note that insurance doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or neglect. However, it does cover damage from weather, such as wind or hail.
How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Roof
Some things to look for when checking for hail damage include:
• Hail hits that are black in colour
• Loss of granules on the shingle
• Asphalt or mat that seems shiny
• Random damage with no apparent pattern
• Soft spots like a bruised apple
Opening an Insurance Claim
If your roof has been damaged by inclement weather and you want the help of your insurance company to handle the repairs, here’s what you should know.
1. Contact your insurance company
and start the claim process as soon as possible. It is typically up to you, the homeowner, to choose which roofing company will perform the repairs, so Mymryk Roofing & Eavestroughing can still be your choice.
2. Your insurance company will
either send an independent inspector or your trusted roofing company to get a quote for the repair of the damages and go from there. How they operate will depend on your insurance company.
3. Gather as much information
about the damages as possible. Take clear images of the affected areas and have other information such as the date of the storm, the age of your roof, any information on active warranties for your roof, and a summary explanation of the damage ready to be provided to your insurance company.
