No sir, This damage to your EPDM roof is most likely NOT covered by your insurance!

Some roof top equipment was leaking a solvent-based liquid on the EPDM roof.

grumpy Said: Storm chasers have ruined this industry.

Storm chasers and the idiot local roofers who follow the same "business plan" are merely symptoms of a flawed scheme.

It begins with insurance that is no longer insurance (like as if it ever was) that has become a defacto pre-paid maintenance program- with all of the decisions being made by 3rd party money managers. First, insurance should and in fact can only cover rare catastrophic events. If it did, rates would be really low. And, as a matter of economics, property owners would set aside maintenance money to cover all of the incidental items needed to maintain a property. Instead, because rates are so high, all of this maintenance money goes to the insurance companies.

Second, because insurance companies really don't care about how much money they pay in claims- they just raise the rates, how does anyone know when they actually have storm damage? So everything gets credited with "storm damage" and the roofing and related businesses have become nothing but a racket.

Compare this industry with the scam presently being forced on the people with the Govt and the health/sick industry. Insurance can only cover catastrophic events. What is being forced on us is actually pre-paid health services. It ain't insurance and rates will only go up along with corruption. It you don't use it you will lose it...

People have been conditioned by storm chasers to try to get insurance to pay for all their exterior repairs. How many times I have had to ask the customer in retort, "WHY would insurance pay for this?" Answer is always: blank stare like a deer in the head lights. Storm chasers have ruined this industry.
