What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Hi,
I’m wondering if it makes sense for me to file a claim. I have minor water damage on two ceilings from heavy snow and ice this year. I believe the gutters get clogged with ice and melting snow seeps in through the fascia boards. I believe a coat of paint will fix this problem but I’m not sure if there is unseen damage. I’m also not so sure it will occur again unless we get such heavy snow. Also a large chunk of Ice fell off my roof hitting a small bulkhead roof below. The falling ice cracked a few shingles and put a hole in the roof. This section will need to be repaired. I’ve been told not to claim it and fix it myself because my rates will go up. I’ve also been told my rates won’t go up because a state of emergency was declared during the storm that did this? Thanks in advance!
