What to do during insurance claim and bad weather?
Despite being a very gentle winter on the east coast, the past month has caused me several headaches. The problem I am dealing with now is the following;
About 3 weeks ago, my area had an excessive snow fall over 30+ inches. This caused one of my properties sun room roof to bow. It is now leaking very noticeably in the middle of the room. I called the insurance guy, and they have sent an adjuster. I am working with them currently to get the issue fix. The insurance company agreed this was a legitimate claim and will pay for the repairs. After I knocked all the snow off, the roof stopped leaking. However, this morning we had a lovely ice/rain storm. So now the sun room is leaking excessively again. The tenant sent me a video. My question is what to do in the interim? I told her I will send my guy out to place a tarp on top of the roof. She is aware of the situation and has been very reasonable. My concern is the sun room might not be fixed for a couple of months, depending on how quickly this process is.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Christian
