Home insurance won't cover a leaky roof that's been neglected or poorly maintained. For example, if your roof is old and needs to be replaced, your home insurance most likely won't cover water damage from leaks.Nov 17, 2020
Do insurance companies replace old roofs?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover roof replacement if the damage is the result of an act of nature or sudden accidental event. Most homeowners insurance policies won't pay to replace or repair a roof that's gradually deteriorating due to wear-and-tear or neglect.
Does USAA depreciate roof?
USAA typically makes two payments, the first is for the depreciated value of the covered damage at the time of the loss. The second payment will typically be made once the covered damages are repaired. For example, if your roof is 10 years old at the time of loss, it's not worth as much as a brand-new roof.
