Hail & Water Damage
January 2022

Facing an insurance carrier that was only willing to approve minor spot repairs and attribute the issues to old damage, our team swung into action. Leveraging detailed evidence from our on-site investigations, along with storm data and policy coverage specifics, we successfully negotiated a complete roof replacement. This victory not only addressed the immediate concerns but also furnished the policyholder with a brand-new, warrantied roof.

Hail & Water Damage

Despite presenting evidence from forensic damage experts that proved water intrusion had caused phenolic insulation to become acidic and cause damage to the steel decking, the insurance carrier remained steadfast with their $139,000 estimate. They also denied coverage for business losses, even though the policy clearly included it. Undeterred, we connected the policyholder with a legal team, sharing all our findings to build a solid case. The outcome? A victory that resulted in a 683% increase in the settlement offer from the insurance carrier.

Hail & Water Damage
May 2021

Nearly a year after a devastating hail storm, the building began to show alarming signs of water damage through the roof. Although still within the timeframe to file a claim, the insurance carrier was resistant, approving only minimal spot repairs that fell below the deductible amount. To counter this, we enlisted experts from the tile company to provide irrefutable forensic evidence, confirming that the damage occurred within the claim window. Moreover, our team successfully negotiated for a complete roof replacement, ensuring the historic building was restored while preserving its invaluable significance.
