    Frequently Asked Questions

    What to do if an insurance claim is denied?

    There’s a good chance you still have a claim.  Let me review their denial letter to see what they stated as a reason.   For roof claims, they use the same language like

    “wear and tear”  “roof is old” “no opening in the roof”, etc…

    Fire Damage Insurance claims denied, they usually try to accuse YOU of causing the fire or they will say that the house failed to have certain safeguards in place like smoke alarms, and other desperate attempts to not pay you

    Water Damage Claims they will state that the leak was gradual, over time or they don’t cover “wear and tear” if it was a pipe break, so they deny the claim.

    For other claims they attempt to use policy language that is more of an excuse not to pay you.

    Is Mold Damage Covered Under my policy?

    In most cases, where the mold is a result of a water damage event that is a covered loss, then yes the mold damage should be covered under most policies.

    Let’s say you don’t have any idea where the water came from but you notice mold damage behind the walls or in the ceilings.  Most policies do have a separate Mold Coverage that would provide a certain amount of coverage to pay for the mold removal and other remediation techniques.

    However, some policies may NOT have any type of mold coverage.

    How many years do I have to file a Hurricane claim?

    As of July 1, 2021, you have 2 years from the date the Hurricane makes landfall to report it to your insurance company.  More often that not, the closer you make the claim to the 2 year mark, the more likely the insurance company will deny the claim.  The sooner you can notify the insurance company the better it is for your claim.

    Does Homeowners Insurance cover Roof Leaks?

    Yes & No.  It depends what caused the roof leak.  If your roof is old, leaked after hard rain, or maybe a problem in the valley or flashing then NO it would not be covered.  However, if the roof leak was caused by wind damage then YES it would be covered.

    I have water damage to my condo that came from a neighbor’s unit will their insurance pay?

    Condominium insurance claims can get tricky.

    To answer this question YES, your neighbor’s insurance SHOULD pay but many problems develop.  The best plan is simply to make a claim thru your own insurance company.  I know what you are thinking…..but why??  Well, trust me when I tell you things don’t always work out the way they should.  The insurance company for your neighbor has NO obligation to you, to them you are just a number, a person trying to take their money.  Your insurance company SHOULD go after your neighbor’s insurance company by a process called subrogation to get those monies paid to you back.

    Who’s responsible when a Condo/Townhome roof is leaking causing damage to my unit?

    You have to read the bylaws to find out what the Association is responsible for.  If the Association is responsible for the roof then the Association would be more than likely be responsible for the damages to your property because of their failure in their duty to maintain.
