We provide adjusters and homeowners with undisputed forensic-level documentation. By following HAAG Engineering standards, we ensure your storm damage claim is backed by scientific evidence, not just opinion.
Insurance adjusters look for "collateral damage" to confirm the severity of a hail event. If these items are damaged, it corroborates the impact on your shingles. Our forensic inspection includes a full audit of:
Note: We map these impacts to show a consistent "Direction of Fall," which is a key HAAG requirement for verifying storm dates.
A leak is a symptom; mat bruising is the cause. Our HAAG training allows us to identify shingle mat fractures that lead to premature failure. This forensic approach is respected by insurance adjusters and is often the key to overturning a "wear and tear" denial.
By using Xactimate, we speak the carrier's language. This prevents "pricing gaps" where the contractor's price is higher than the adjuster's. We ensure every code-required item (Drip Edge, Ice/Water Shield, Step Flashing) is included and paid.
HAAG Certified inspectors are trained by forensic engineers to identify real storm damage versus manufacturing defects or mechanical damage. Because adjusters use these same standards, a HAAG-certified report is much harder for a carrier to dispute.
If your estimate wasn't written in Xactimate, it likely isn't. Xactimate updates monthly with local Alpharetta labor and material rates. We provide Xactimate estimates to ensure you aren't paying out-of-pocket for market price increases.
OSHA CFR 1926 Subpart M requires safety harnesses on roofs. We follow this to protect our team and to shield you, the homeowner, from "premises liability" lawsuits that can arise if an uncertified worker falls on your property.
Yes. Hail often causes "latent damage"—bruising that isn't visible from the ground and doesn't leak immediately. Our inspectors use tactile (touch) methods and high-resolution photography to document these mat fractures before your claim window closes.
In Georgia, insurance companies generally cannot drop you for filing a "non-at-fault" storm damage claim. Since hail is an "Act of God," it is considered a comprehensive loss. However, always consult your specific policy terms.
If your claim was denied or underpaid, our forensic documentation can help. Get a professional inspection first.
