How to File a Roofing Service Insurance Claim?
Dealing with a hailstorm or any other weather-related problem is stressful. As you not only have to worry about any property damage, you will also need to think about filing a roof replacement claim with your insurance provider to pay for a roofing service to come and rectify the damage.
Making a claim is no cause for alarm, however, you will first need to go and take a look at the overall damage to your roof. Once you have determined there is in fact roof damage you have to determine how to file your insurance claim. You will also need to put aside time for any follow-up appointments with insurance adjusters and contractors.
Assessing the aftermath
Should you suspect your roof has sustained storm damaged, the first thing you need to do is to survey the aftermath. Never climb on your roof; as it is extremely dangerous right after a storm. Leave this to a professional roofing service to do. They will walk your roof, assess the damage, and advise you if there is sufficient damage to justify an insurance claim. Below are a few helpful tips we at Arcade Roofing Solutions have provided before you start a roof insurance claim:
1. Contact your insurance provider to make a report and ask them exactly how long you have to file a roof claim.
2. Take a walk around your property and check it to see if there is any roofing material over your yard.
3. Take a look at your gutters, windows, and door jams to see if there are any missing or broken sections.
4. Inspect your attic for any signs of water penetration.
5. Check your foundations and basement, should you have one, to see if you can see any signs of leaks.
6. Take photos and document all the damage.
7. Contact your insurance provider again to start to fill out an insurance claim.
