My roof has leaked the last few times it has rained. Can I file that on my homeowners insurance?

Or does the rain damage have to be from one particular storm?

Normally, homeowner insurance covers the damage the leak did (clothes, furniture, drywall, carpet, etc. (minus the deductible) not the repair of what caused the leak.

Ususally there has to be some type of catastrophic damage and not just general degradation. My guess would be that this one comes out of pocket.
you ae responsible for maintainence on the roof of your house, your insurance company is not responsible for any damage caused by neglect..
That is one for your Agent. Only he can tell you what kind of policy you bought. Some times the deductible will make it not worth doing, and sometimes it falls under "disclosure" on your title insurance.

A good agent will advise you without causing your rates to go up.
Call your insurance agent and ask. I would say that it probably will not be covered. It's probably a leak casued by something deteriorating over time, which is generally not covered. But hey...call and ask. It can't hurt.
If it is just your roof going bad, then your insurance will not apply. You have to maintain your roof, because the shingles do wear out overtime. As a matter of fact, I have to put a new one on my place, next month.
if there was roof damage due to a severe storm with hail or it took down a tree that fell onto your roof then all you will have to pay is the deductible otherwise you are gunna have to foot the bill yourself. sorry
