Property Damage

Residential damage investigations can involve roofing, exterior finishes, interior surfaces, building components, repair records, photographs, contractor estimates, inspection findings, and conditions observed at the property. The scope depends on the type of claimed damage and the competing explanations for how it occurred.

Weather-related claims may require comparison of observed damage with storm timing, wind conditions, precipitation, hail data, property condition, and the physical characteristics of the affected materials. An expert can assess whether those conditions are technically consistent with the damage attributed to the weather event.

The expert can compare the proposed work with documented damage, inspection findings, construction details, and the areas reportedly affected by the loss. This can identify repairs that correspond to observed conditions as well as items that may involve unrelated deterioration, prior damage, or broader replacement work.
