Roof Collapse & Structural Failure Claims

Helping property owners restore, rebuild and move forward after structural damage

A roof collapse or structural failure can happen without warning and leave property owners facing significant damage, business interruption, safety concerns, and unexpected repair costs.

Whether the damage was caused by heavy snow, severe weather, hail, water intrusion, fire, or another sudden event, disputes often arise when insurers take the position that the damage was caused by wear and tear, poor maintenance, or a pre-existing condition.

When the cause of the damage is disputed

One of the most common issues in roof collapse and structural failure claims is determining what caused the damage.

Insurers may argue that the loss resulted from:

• Wear and tear
• Deterioration over time
• Poor maintenance
• Construction defects
• Pre-existing structural issues

Property owners often receive conflicting opinions from contractors, engineers, and insurers about what happened and what repairs are required.

We'll help you understand the insurer's position, review the available evidence, and determine what options may be available to you.

Severe weather and hail damage claims

Alberta experiences some of the most severe hail and winter weather events in Canada. Roof damage, structural stress, water intrusion, and building failures can occur after major storms, particularly when multiple weather events affect a property over time.

Disputes frequently arise regarding:

• Roof replacement versus repair
• Hidden structural damage
• Hail-related deterioration
• Water intrusion following storm damage
• The scope of required repairs

Understanding the cause of the loss is often one of the most important parts of the claim.
