You really need to ask your agent. If the roof is just worn out from age, it probably is not covered. If it was damaged in a storm, you usually have only a certain number of days to file a claim. They will probably say the interior damage is your fault for not reporting the damage to the roof. If it is covered, it is possible that the policy will only cover removal of two layers of shingles. But all the layers don't need to be replaced. The multiple layers were put on by someone trying to save a dollar by adding a layer instead of replacing one.

Does loft insulation reduce heat loss by conduction convection or radiation?
Loft insulation primarily reduces heat loss by conduction. It works by trapping air in the material, which slows down the transfer of heat through the building's ceiling. Some insulation materials may also help reduce heat loss through convection by preventing air movement within the insulation layer.
What should you do if the low pressure line is insulated and sweating outside the insulation above a suspended ceiling and dripping on the ceiling causing mildew?
What is your question here? If you want to keep the insulation from sweating get thicker insulation. You probably have 3/8 thick insulation; increase to 1/2 or 5/8. It is possible that your suction line is freezing up and when it thaws it soaks the insulation causing it to drip. If you can't prevent the leak, use a vinyl ceiling tile, like Ceilume, in that area. It won't absorb moisture and is easily cleaned.
