Storm Damage
Storm damages are one of the most common events we attend in the Insurance industry. These vary from electrical storms, hail damages, heavy rains in short periods and high winds. It is essential to inspect all areas of a property following a storm, as events such as hail can cause damages that may not be evident to the insured, which can eventually cause issues in the long term. In many cases with storm events, we may utilise specialists to assist in determining the cause of the damage such as Electrical Specialist, Roof Specialist and Arborists.
Example Of Report Findings
The damages sustained to the residence are in our professional opinion, a direct result of a storm event that was recorded by the BOM on the date of the insureds advice of 55mm rain with SW winds of up to 60Km/h. Along with the wind and rain, large hail was also recorded, and the impact of the hail has damaged the rear pergola polycarbonate roof area, which requires replacing. The pergola pitch is sitting at 5 degrees and is as per manufacturers recommendations.
