After a storm, flood or sudden damage, clear photos, measurements and a written report help you talk with your insurance company.
When a storm, a burst pipe or a flood damages a foundation, owners often have to explain what happened to an insurance company, and the clearer the evidence, the smoother the conversation. Coverage for foundation damage varies widely by policy and by cause, so no one can promise an outcome. What we can do is document the condition thoroughly and plainly.
We inspect the damage, measure it, take dated photos and write a report that describes what we found and what repair we recommend. We also note signs that point to a sudden cause or a gradual one, since policies often treat them differently. If the insurer sends an adjuster, we are glad to walk the property with them and answer questions. We do not decide coverage, and we are careful to describe only what we observe. Good records help even when a claim is not filed. A dated set of photos and measurements shows the condition of the foundation at a moment in time, which can be useful to you later whatever happens with insurance.
Clear photos of cracks, floors, walls and water damage with measurements show the condition at a point in time.
