Northbrook adjusting services in the property insurance claim business many of the insured perils result in roof damage. This can be from windstorm (which includes hurricanes and tornadoes), hail, fire, explosions, sinkholes, and collapse to name a few. It is not uncommon for the roof to be breached by an insured peril, thus resulting in a variety of additional damages to the interior of the building, its equipment and contents. Failure of a roof's system can often result in a total loss to the interior building finishes as well as the contents.Obvious evidence of damage includes: uplifted roof membrane, missing and broken shingles, gouge marks from flying debris, buffeting of the roof membrane, scouring of shingles, missing or broken roof sheathing, broken or missing roof trusses to name a few. Remember published research has reported that a modest breach of a building's envelope will likely increase internal pressure causing uplift or perhaps a blowout of a wall system. This research goes on to say that a roof panel removal by wind uplift can increase the magnitude of losses on the order of 80% of the total insurance claim!
Some examples of not-so-obvious damages are: built-up flat roofs that do not show obvious exterior damage but have multiple leaks that were not present prior to the insured event; cracking on the underside of the flat roof membrane; and torqueing of roof equipment such as A/C units that can break the membrane and cause leaking. Separation or uplifting of the nails between roof trusses and roof sheathing caused by uplift forces can be an indicator of high wind pressure. These are typically the cases where no agreement can be reached with the carrier’s adjuster.
Therefore, it is generally wise to consult a roofing expert and a structural engineer all of which will be coordinated with the help and input of the professional public adjusters at Tutwiler & Associates. As top Northbrook Public Adjuster, we specialize in all types of roofs including shingle, tile, slate, metal and wood shake roofs. With the owner’s permission, roof cutouts may be taken in order to analyze the necessary core samples. Most insurance policies are written to exclude maintenance issues and preexisting conditions of your roof. However, that’s not to say that simply because a roof is old, that damage from an insured event isn’t covered.
If you have suffered a roof failure particularly in a catastrophic loss environment like a hurricane, your first duty is to try and mitigate damages. You must try to protect and prevent further damages which can be a challenge. Decisions as to whether to put on a temporary roof or make a replacement will need to be made and in some emergency cases without the input or authority of the insurance adjuster sent out by your insurance company. Documenting and making the right decisions can have an impact on your claim.
