Will insurance cover a leaking roof?
It depends on why your roof is leaking. If your roof was damaged by a covered peril such as fire lightning etc. Then your Homeowners insurance would cover the damage. If your roof is old and worn out, it just needs to be replaced and would not be covered by your homeowners insurance. Roofs require the home owners maintenance and upkeep along with replacement every 20 years or so. It's just part of the cost of owning a home. Failure to engage in expected normal maintenance of your home can be interpreted as a moral hazard and can result in cancellation of your homes insurance policy. If your roof is fairly new and you just have a leak with no visible damage, then it is most likely the result of faulty workmanship and again, not covered by your home insurance policy.

Understanding The Insurance Cost Of Your Premium?
Your insurance premium is going to consist of a lot of different factors. Whether it is for car insurance, home insurance, health insurance or anything else, there are ways to reduce your premium by making a few changes. Knowing how to reduce the premium or at least why your premium is what it is will help you find the best rates. Car insurance is comprised of the kind of car that you want insured, the city that you live in, your age and your driving record. While you can't do anything about most of those things, you can still control some of the rates. The higher the deductible, the lower your monthly payments will be. In addition, if there are any other cars in your home, ensure they are covered with the same company so that you can get a multi-car discount. Health insurance can provide a lot of options for adjusting the insurance cost. You can opt for HMO, PPO or an HSA. Each of these will vary in price, so if you don't like the premium that you are quoted for one, try another to see if this will lower the price, too. When you are looking for life insurance, you can get whole or term life insurance. Term life is always going to be the cheapest option. You have the ability to adjust the length of the term as well as the total benefit amount to find a happy medium on the price. You do want to ensure that you have the best term, though, otherwise it could all be for nothing. Home insurance is another type of insurance that you could get and the insurance cost can be very dramatic. If you have a security system, you can lower your premium simply because the chance of someone breaking in is minimized. Other improvements such as a new roof and other items can also lower your premium because you are reducing the chances of something happening to your home. Whenever you are getting an insurance premium quote, you want to get quotes from multiple companies. The reason for this is that some companies put a higher emphasis on one category over another. Once you understand what makes your premium cost what it does, it is a lot easier to make adjustments so that it becomes cheaper. You can always ask the insurance company how to lower it, too, so you can afford it easier.
