Here in the Midwest, we are prone to several severe storms every year. These storms often include wind-driven rain, and winds exceeding 50 miles per hour. Hail the size of quarters or larger and snow with damming ice.
Storm damage is often overlooked until a leak develops, materials rot or something flies away. Insurance companies understand this and have rules to limit when and why an insurance claim can be filed. In most cases, the time limit to file is just one year and covers only sudden damage. If regular inspections aren’t performed, materials rot, time clicks by and you’re usually out of luck!
