Coverage for Resulting Damages from Roof Leaks

If a specific event causes your roof to leak, the damage to your roof may be covered. If you have mold or water damage because of it, your insurance company may not want to cover your resulting damages. Having an experienced public adjuster is key if your insurance company denies your claim.

Some homeowners’ insurance policies have an anti-concurrent causation clause in them. An anti-concurrency causation clause  typically reads similar to this: “We do not insure for such loss regardless of a) the cause of the excluded event; b) other causes of the loss; or c) whether other cause acted concurrently or in any sequence with the excluded event to produce the loss.” These clauses mean that if noncovered damage occurs at the same time as covered damage, the entire claim may be denied. We are experienced at navigating claims with policies that have this clause.

Facts and Statistics about Roof Leak Insurance Claims

  • The age of your roof is the most common factor in roof leaks.
  • Damaged flashing is a leading cause of roof leaks.
  • The slope of your roof is also a factor. If the slope is too shallow, wind can easily lift your shingles and allow rain to be driven underneath them, causing a roof leak.
  • Frequent storms with heavy rain or wind, such as a hurricane, can remove shingles from your roof. If the roof isn’t fixed immediately, it can cause much more damage to your home.
  • Mold can start to grow from a small roof leak that you can’t detect. Even a minor leak can cause mold to fester in your home. Mold poses serious health risks to you and your family if left unchecked.

Are Roof Leaks Covered in My Insurance?

Roof leaks are often covered in your homeowners’ insurance policy. There is a “25-percent-roof-replacement rule” in the Florida Building Code that makes it easier for Sentry Public Adjusting to fight for your claim to be paid. This code makes it easier to file an insurance claim for your roof leak and helps if your entire roof needs to be replaced.
