Oh, my dear, what a mess!
I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

There are consulting engineers who specialize in things like home inspections, and who also do damage assessment, and I would start with a search for such a person, rather than a contractor.

Definitely get your insurance company involved. This new damage, even though it's the fault of the roofers, is still an extension of your original claim. They'll make sure the problem is paid for by the roofer's insurance since they (your insurance) won't want to have to pony up the costs of expensive mold remediation down the line. They have a vested interest in getting this taken care of properly.

Good luck.

Thanks browynsmom and deeinohio. I will start the "hunt" tomorrow. I'm delighted with my new roof. . .but nor looking forward to the "issues" I'm facing with the water damage to the back of the house. When you turn over a rock, you always get a lot of bugs. . . . .

You certainly have a good attitude about this. I'd be screaming bloody murder. The roofing company needs to return everything to the state it was in before this mess.

I agree that a home inspector would know best what to look for.

Take photos ASAP and have your insurance inspector out too. Yes your roofing contractor admits it's his fault and says he will make it right. But if he decides to claim this on his insurance policy - then his insurance agent might try to negate some of the claim. You also need to find out if the insulation in the walls is wet too.

Good luck and I hope your roofer does right by you.

Horrible. Just wanted to say I'm sorry you're dealing with this. :(

Take pictures, then take some more, get another contractor/builder out to give you an estimate of damage to repair to submit to your roofer, we went through the same thing after a hurricane between rains the roofer did not have chance to finish and only tarped one side our master br. got a storm on Xmas day, hurricane was in Aug. and we had leaks again. Our roofer took a few thousand dollars off of our bill, for other repairs. And finished our roof. All the digital photo's I took helped so much with not only the roofer but also our ins. I printed some and sent others in E-mail.

Call your insurance company immediately, as said above. You do not want the roofer to 'repair' anything until this new damage has been assessed. The last thing you want is something covered up without proper attention to what is behind it. The potential for huge issues down the road are too great and your insurance company will not want to be on the hook. Unfortunately, most home inspectors will not have the background to assess this fully. A structural engineer may be overkill but better that than someone under qualified.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and kind thoughts. . .greatly appreciated!! I contacted my insurance adjuster on the original roof claim. While they are very interested in the outcome, they indicated that this is an issue between me and the roofing company. . .totally separate from the original claim on the roof. But they did give me some pointers on working through the situation.

A water remediation company coming out tomorrow to do an assessment (based on the recommendation of my adjuster) so I think that will give me some idea of the full extent of the damage and where we need to go from there.

I have taken lots of pictures and won't let anyone touch anything until I'm satisfied the damage has been fully documented.

Dedtired, my attitude not really as good as it sounds. . .but as the expression goes. ."it is what it is" and nothing can change that. . .and I'm hoping that be being patient and somewhat understanding, they (roofing company) will be willing to do a little more than if I landed in the middle of them with combat boots.
Thank you all again. . .I'll let you know how it all turns out!
