Roof Maintenance Tips to Prevent Insurance Hassle
Insurance Roof Repairs & Maintenance
At C & R Visocchi Roofing, we work with leading insurance companies and builders across NSW to manage and complete your roof insurance claims or maintenance needs. Our goal is to make the process simple and stress-free for you. We coordinate directly with your builder, insurance provider, and you, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Navigating the Insurance Process
If this is your first time making a claim for roof damage, we understand it can feel overwhelming. You likely have questions about what happens next and how your roof will be repaired. Here’s how the process works:
Storm Damage and Initial Claim
After a storm, if your roof is leaking, your insurance company will arrange for a “make safe” repair. This is a temporary fix to prevent further damage.What’s Included in a Make Safe?
- A full inspection of the affected area and roof.
- Immediate temporary repairs (if possible).
- A detailed quote for any remaining work, including photos and a satellite map showing required repairs and maintenance.
If a full repair can’t be done immediately, we’ll secure your roof with temporary measures and provide you with a comprehensive plan for permanent repairs.
Assessment and Approval
An insurance assessor will visit your property to determine which damages are storm-related and which are maintenance issues:- Storm Damage: Caused by high winds, hail, falling debris, etc., and covered by insurance.
- Maintenance Issues: General wear and tear over time. These are the homeowner’s responsibility and not covered by insurance.
Why Roof Maintenance Matters
Many maintenance issues are only discovered during storms when leaks occur. Regular inspections can prevent these problems. If you’d like a maintenance check, get in touch—we’re here to help.
The Next Steps After Approval
Once the assessment is complete and repairs are approved:
- We’ll confirm the materials needed for your repair.
- Once materials are ordered and received, we’ll contact you to schedule the final repair.
