Storm or Wind Damage Roof Repair: Insurance Coverage, Emergency Covering & Repairs
On this page, we will discuss the importance of Storm or Wind Damage Roof Repair and how to make sure that your business is taking the right steps in case you are faced with a storm. We'll also cover what insurance coverage may be available for businesses who have experienced Storm or Wind Damage Roof Repair. Finally, we'll show you what options exist for doing Emergency Covering & Repairs using our 24-hour Emergency Service.
Storm damage roof repair is caused by a storm, such as hail or hurricane-force winds. Wind damage roof repair can be from an earthquake that breaks the wind barrier of your home and damages tiles/sheets on your commercial roof. The main difference between storm vs. wind is the intensity and frequency of storms occurring over time at one location to cause structural failure (e.g., tearing away shingles) with each occurrence requiring emergency coverage for insurance purposes which may not always be covered due to limitations imposed by most policies. For example, many of the typical building owner's insurance policies cover less than 50% if there are two claims within 12 months; whereas some will have a total loss deductible where they do not pay anything until you reach that deductible.
If you are the policyholder, call your insurance company to report a storm or wind damage. Ask them for emergency cover on temporary repairs and if they will pay for permanent repair work later. Your insurer may also require that an independent contractor inspects the property before agreeing to make any payment. If you have paid out of pocket for making temporary covering or repairing damaged areas such as missing roof material or damaged substrates, your owners' insurance would usually reimburse these expenses up to a certain amount depending on factors like deductible limits, etc. unless it is excluded from coverage in your policy's terms and conditions.
