Is a leaking roof considered structural damage?
A leaking roof is considered a maintenance issue. This means that damage is not coverage on any property insurance policy. If, a storm occurred , causing a tree to fall through your roof while it was raining, that would be covered including the damage due to water, the tree, contents, etc. The key to insurance covered incidents is that they must be sudden, accidental, and not predictable. A leaking roof happens over time and should be taken care of by the property owner. Neglect of maintenance is not a covered item. Sorry.

How can you tell if your roof is damaged because of a hail storm?
It can sometimes be easy to know that there has been some damage to your roof after a hail storm. The first thing to check is your air conditioning unit and your window screens to see if there are splatter marks on them. These are a great indicator of larger damage to your roof. Other obvious signs like missing shingles and a leaking roof are easy to spot as well. Most hail storm damage can be diagnosed with a visual inspection, but sometimes a more in depth inspection of your roof will help to prevent any long term issues from coming up later. I always recommend having a professional go up on your roof to completely inspect it as they know exactly what to look for.
