Storm and disaster evaluation
When weather comes through, the question is what it actually did. An accredited member documents the visible, storm-related damage, or determines the proximate cause behind a claim, with nothing riding on how the claim turns out.
Why it matters
An inspection with no side to take.
The inspector is not your adjuster and not your carrier’s. They document what the evidence shows, and that neutrality is what makes the finding worth reading, for both of you.
Adjusting a claim, determining coverage and setting a loss amount are separate activities, often licensed separately by state. Our members do none of them. They establish the facts the people who do can work from.
When you need it
Documentation of what the weather did, before anyone has decided what it means.
A record of the visible damage, photographed and captioned, independent of any carrier.
Storm, wear, maintenance or workmanship, weighed to find the proximate cause.
The same documentation across every property, so managers can see where they stand.
The StormCHECK™ inspection
A limited, non-invasive, observational inspection. It documents visible conditions and legitimate, functional storm damage. It is documentation, not conclusions.
Shingles, tiles or membrane, examined and photographed for impact, lifting and loss.
Vents, flashing and gutters, where hail leaves its clearest record.
Windows, doors, garage doors, fixtures, fencing and ancillary structures.
Adjacent structures and the surroundings, for the direction and reach of the event.
When it is accessible and safe, for what the damage has let in.
What you receive
Photo-centric documentation with captions for a StormCHECK™ inspection. For a claim inspection, a consultative report on the proximate cause of the damage, prepared for the party who retained the inspector.
In this family
Which one depends on where the claim stands.
Documentation of visible storm damage, usually before or independent of an insurance claim.
The proximate cause of the damage behind a claim, weighing storm, wear, deferred maintenance, third parties and workmanship. Usually retained by the carrier.
A review of the photographs and documents already gathered, without a site visit. Suited to a thin paper trail more than a contested one.

StormCHECK™ documents what the storm did, usually before or independent of a claim. A claim inspection determines the proximate cause of the damage behind an existing claim, and is usually retained by the carrier.
Neither. They document what the evidence shows. That neutrality is the reason the finding is worth reading, whoever reads it.
Coverage is between you and your carrier, and the inspector does not decide it or advocate for it. What they give you is an accurate record of the damage and, for a claim inspection, what caused it.
Remove any emergency tarps before the inspector arrives, or they will be recorded as a limitation on what could be seen. Make sure the inspector can reach the attic and the property safely.
