Exemplification of a Tree Falling on a Roof Causing Water Damage and Gradual Damage
The insurance company repaired the opening and roof following a water damage claim that was covered as a result of a tree falling on the roof and causing an entrance through which water rushed into the residence.
The damage to the home was fixed, but the homeowners detected a strange scent or paint chipping near where the repairs had been done many months later. They contact the insurance company that handled the claim, and they are informed that there is still dampness or, worse, newly grown mold where the damage was.
On rare circumstances, further damage may occur after or as a result of a claim, and this is not covered by insurance.
