Roof Leaks
slow leaks to full collapse
Funari Public Adjusters have helped area property owners file insurance claims for roof damage for many years. Your roof can develop a small leak due to age, ice dams, flashing pulling away from the chimney, rust and lost shingles or slates. Larger leaks can develop if your roof is storm damaged from hail or snow or falling trees.
First steps to take if you have a roof leak:
-
Call a roofer you trust to identify the source of the leak
-
Take measures such as buckets to contain the water coming into your home
-
Ask your roofer to take photos of the leak source and with your “ok” proceed to stop the leak even if only a temporary measure
-
Take photos yourself of the leak damage happening inside your house
