Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.

How it works
Ask for the report and photos. Get a roofer with claims experience to document the storm-specific damage the adjuster didn't attribute. Request a reinspection with your roofer present. Most reversals happen at this step.
