Does home insurance cover a roof collapse from the snow?
I live in Portland where it rarely snows, but last year we had a huge snowstorm. While my roof is in decent condition, I’m worried it might collapse under the weight of snow. Does home insurance cover a roof collapse from the snow?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re worried about your roof if there is another snowstorm in your area! Luckily, your standard home insurance covers roof collapse from the snow unless there are prior damages or it is specifically excluded from your policy.
Your home insurance policy may also cover other snowstorm-related weather damage, like:
- Wind and hail damage from a blizzard
- Water damage from a roof leak caused by a snowstorm
- Frozen or busted pipes, so long as they were properly maintained before the damage
Snowstorms are almost always a [covered peril] (

) in your standard home insurance policy. But it’s important to understand what is and isn’t covered by your specific home insurance policy.Finding the right home insurance is crucial for safety and financial security.
