HAAG-Based Roof Inspection in Johns Creek, GA
After hail, wind, or severe weather in Johns Creek, a roof inspection should be methodical, evidence-first,
and performed with OSHA-first safety practices. Inspector Roofing and Restoration provides HAAG standards-based
inspections designed to support homeowners with insurance-grade documentation and clear next steps.
Not a “20-Point Checklist.” A Protocol.
Many companies advertise numbered inspections. A checklist can be helpful, but it often reads like marketing and can
miss the insurance-relevant details homeowners actually need after a storm.
A HAAG-based inspection protocol is different: it’s a structured approach that emphasizes evidence, patterns, and
documentation quality—especially for hail and wind events common in Johns Creek and North Fulton County.
Plain-English takeaway:
Our inspections are designed to produce an adjuster-ready findings report, not just a quick opinion.
What “HAAG standards-based” means for Johns Creek homeowners
- Facet-by-facet inspection: We review roof sections systematically, documenting materials, conditions, and storm-related patterns.
- Clear evidence: Photos/video capture findings so your claim file is supported by visuals—not guesswork.
- Claim-ready organization: Findings are summarized in a structured format to reduce confusion and back-and-forth with insurers.
If you have an adjuster appointment, we can help you understand what typically matters for hail/wind claim documentation
and how to keep the file moving.
When Johns Creek homeowners use this
- After hail or high-wind events
- If shingles look lifted, creased, or out of alignment
- If you see granules in gutters/downspouts
- If you notice dents on vents, flashing, or gutters
- If you have interior stains or a new leak after the storm
- If an adjuster visit is scheduled or recently completed
Best practice: Inspection first → documentation second → then decide whether filing a claim makes sense.
The 4 Domains of Our HAAG-Based Inspection Protocol
1) Storm Impact Analysis
We evaluate whether observed conditions are consistent with storm-related damage—patterning across slopes,
directional indicators, and characteristics associated with hail and wind events.
- Hail impact indicators & pattern consistency
- Wind uplift/creasing/displacement indicators
- Slope-by-slope clustering vs random aging
- Storm-date plausibility (evidence alignment)
2) Roof System Integrity
Storm damage is not just cosmetic. We evaluate whether the roof system is still performing as intended and where it
may be compromised.
- Shingle seal integrity & uplift risk
- Flashing stability at key transitions
- Valleys, ridges, and stress concentrations
- Penetrations (pipes/vents/boots) & seals
3) Water Intrusion Risk
We check for leak pathways and conditions that increase short- or long-term water intrusion risk.
- Exposed fasteners, lifted edges, missing components
- Flashing interfaces and roof-to-wall transitions
- Ventilation and moisture-related indicators
- Interior symptom alignment (stains/active leaks)
4) Collateral Evidence Corroboration
We document collateral indicators that often support storm causation and scope discussions.
- Soft metal impacts (vents/caps/flashing)
- Gutters/downspouts and exterior components
- Consistent directionality and impact distribution
- Supporting photo/video evidence for the file
OSHA-first safety practices during roof inspections
Safety is non-negotiable. We use OSHA-first safety practices—appropriate access methods, hazard awareness, and safe work
approaches—because safe inspections protect homeowners, technicians, and property.
When conditions are unsafe (wet surfaces, steep pitch, lightning risk), we schedule the earliest safe window or use
alternative documentation methods where appropriate.

FAQ
What is a HAAG standards-based roof inspection?
A HAAG standards-based roof inspection uses disciplined, evidence-first evaluation practices commonly referenced in storm
damage assessment. The goal is to document roof conditions clearly (materials, slopes/facets, distress patterns,
collateral indicators) so homeowners and insurers can understand what’s present and what it means.
Do you help with insurance claim documentation in Johns Creek?
Yes. We provide insurance-grade documentation (photos, videos, measurements, and written findings) and guidance for
communicating claim details. Clear documentation reduces delays and helps your adjuster evaluate the scope faster.
How do OSHA safety practices affect roof inspections?
We follow OSHA-first jobsite safety practices—using appropriate access methods, fall protection planning, and hazard
awareness—because safe inspection work protects homeowners, technicians, and property. Safety also supports consistent,
repeatable documentation without rushed shortcuts.
What do you look for during a HAAG-based inspection?
We document hail impacts, wind-related damage (missing/creased shingles, lifted edges), water intrusion indicators, and
collateral damage patterns. Our goal is to create clear evidence for decision-making and insurance communication.
