LEAK HELP / ILLUSTRATED GUIDE

What should I record when I notice a leak?

A location, a date, and a description are more useful than a guessed cause.

Name the area

Write “upstairs bedroom, window wall” rather than “the roof is bad.” Be as specific as you can without climbing or entering unsafe spaces.

Separate past and present

Say whether water is entering now or whether you are looking at an older mark. If you do not know, keep that uncertainty in your note.

Describe the change

Record whether the mark has grown, appeared again, or followed previous work. Your note helps plan an assessment; it is not a diagnosis.

It is insurance fraud punishable as a felony of the third degree for a contractor to knowingly or willfully, and with intent to injure, defraud, or deceive, pay, waive, or rebate all or part of an insurance deductible applicable to payment to the contractor for repairs to property covered by a property insurance policy.

It is insurance fraud punishable as a felony of the third degree to intentionally file an insurance claim containing any false, incomplete, or misleading information.

This website does not interpret your policy, file or negotiate claims, or promise coverage. A roofing contractor can document roof conditions and explain its repair estimate. Direct coverage questions to your insurer or an appropriately licensed professional.
