After major Adelaide storm events (notably November 2016 and January 2024), the roof damage repair process follows a predictable sequence. Get it right and the claim is straightforward.
Step 1: document
Photos from ground (every side of the house) and inside (any leaks, water stains). Date-stamped via your phone.
Step 2: file the claim
Within 24-48 hours. Your insurer will tell you how many quotes to provide.
Step 3: get the inspection
Independent inspection is best. Written report goes to your insurer.
Step 4: get quotes
3 written quotes from licensed Adelaide roofers, insurance-claim format. Don't accept the first quote from a door-knocker after a storm.
