Hank Investigates: What to do if your roof collapses
- Call your insurance company or agent ASAP
- Take pictures of the damages to the house inside and out
- Take pictures of any contents that are damaged--you may be covered for that too
- Be careful, don't put yourself in harm's way
Now if your roof is holding up just fine for now - there are things you can do to prepare for any possible problems in the future:
- Dig out your insurance policy and check your coverage
- Make sure you have the phone numbers to report problems
- Inventory your household items in photos or videos
- Keep your policy and those photos in a safe place
If you have to do some emergency repairs--getting a tarp or shoveling out--make sure you keep all the receipts--your insurance may cover that too.
