What Roof Damage is Covered by Insurance in Texas? Understanding Your Policy

Common Causes of Roof Damage in Texas

Texas is no stranger to severe weather events that can wreak havoc on your roof. Here are some of the most common causes of roof damage that may be covered by your insurance policy:

Hail Damage

Hailstorms are a frequent occurrence in Texas, and the impact of hailstones can cause significant damage to your roof. Hail can cause dents, cracks, punctures, and granule loss on shingles, compromising your roof's integrity and leading to leaks and further damage.

‍

Wind Damage

High winds, often accompanying thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes, can lift and tear off shingles, exposing the underlying roof deck to water damage. Additionally, flying debris during windstorms can puncture or dent your roof, requiring repairs or replacement.

Storm Damage

Hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe thunderstorms can bring a combination of high winds, heavy rain, and hail, resulting in extensive roof damage. From water intrusion to structural damage, these events can leave your roof in dire need of attention.

Understanding Your Insurance Policy

While most standard homeowner's insurance policies cover roof damage caused by covered perils like hail, wind, and storms, it's essential to review your policy carefully. Pay attention to the following:

• Deductibles: Your policy may have a separate deductible for wind and hail damage, which can be higher than your standard deductible.
• Coverage Limits: Ensure your policy provides adequate coverage for the cost of repairing or replacing your roof.
• Exclusions: Some policies may exclude certain types of damage or have specific requirements for coverage, such as maintaining your roof in good condition.
