A snowstorm can leave your home a mess. Once the storm is over, you may think you’re in the clear from snow-related damage, but that isn’t always the case. The risk of high winds, freezing temperatures, falling tree branches, ice dams and damage from melting snow are all areas of concern. These elements put your home at risk, so it pays to have proper insurance that covers these issues.

What the Insurance Normally Covers

There are different signs of roof damage, but in general, it should be easy to tell when something is wrong. The most common signs that your roof needs work are:

• Missing, blistering, or curling shingles
• Loose gutters and valley flashing
• Wet ceiling stains, which indicate a leaking roof
• Sagging along the eaves, which can signify rotting deck boards

What It May Not Cover

Both external and internal factors can cause roof damage. These include UV radiation, improper installation, age-related wear, and weather conditions such as strong winds or hail impact. Also, water from rain and melting snow that pools in some places can cause the material to rot and promote mold growth.
