STORM DAMAGE SUPPORT
Protect. Defend. Rebuild
We provide comprehensive inspection, documentation, and construction support services related to property damage. We understand these situations can be stressful for you and your family, and our team is committed to delivering clarity, professionalism, and steady guidance from the very beginning.
Our process includes detailed inspections and the preparation of expert, evidencebased reports that document observed conditions using industry standards, applicable building code references, and manufacturer specifications where relevant.
Where appropriate, our findings are supported by third-party industry resources, published technical data, and independent standards to ensure accuracy, objectivity, and professional integrity.
Property insurance policies vary, and all coverage determinations are made solely by the insurance carrier in accordance with the specific terms, conditions, exclusions, and endorsements of the policy. Our role is limited to inspection, documentation, and construction-related evaluation. We do not interpret policy coverage or make coverage decisions.
Wind
Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate the damage they cause from tornado damage. Strong thunderstorm winds can come from a number of different processes. Most thunderstorm winds that cause damage at the ground are a result of outflow generated by a thunderstorm downdraft. Damaging winds are classified as those exceeding 50-60 mph.
Hail
By definition, hail damage is any damage resulting from hailstones and hailstorms. Hailstones that are large enough to cause substantial damage to homes, automobiles & property. In many parts of the US, hailstorms are a way of life. For many homeowners it’s not a question of whether a hailstorm will hit, but when damaging hail will hit. Many areas in the U.S. receive hail six or more times a year and many homes are damaged every year.
You may think that just because you can’t see any signs of damage, or because your roof isn’t leaking, you don’t have damage. Remember, hail damage can be particularly difficult to identify and many homeowners discover major roofing damage years down the road, after it’s too late to file a storm damage claim with their insurance company. If you have any reason to suspect hail damage after a storm, you should have a full property damage inspection performed by a reputable contractor, right away.
Water
Flood damage is when a large amount of water overflows beyond its normal confines. This can be due to a storm surge, tidal wave, river flood, or flash flood, when water rises due to wind or rain.
It is important to report damage from water to SERGEANTS quickly. Sergeants will assist in filing the claim process with your insurance company. Many insurance companies have a strict timeline in which a loss must be reported or they are automatically denied. .
Fire
Fire damage refers to the physical damage to a property as a result of burning. This damage may either be directly caused by the flames or could occur due to smoke and other corrosive substances emitted by the fire.
In terms of insurance, fire damage is one of the types of coverage offered in property insurance.
