Certified Damage Report
At Qlab Solutions, we provide professional Certified Damage Reports, offering a clear, accurate, and impartial evaluation of property damage for residential homeowners following hurricanes. Prepared by our restoration experts in accordance with industry standards, our reports meticulously document all details. This is essential in the aftermath of severe storms, where prompt and thorough assessments can mitigate risks such as water infiltration or structural weakening.
What a Certified Damage Report Includes
Our reports are specifically tailored to residential properties impacted by hurricanes, delivering a comprehensive recovery plan addressing typical storm-related issues:
- Thorough on-site inspection of critical areas, including roofs for missing shingles or leaks, windows for fractures or failed seals, sheds for wind-induced damage or structural failure, and interior spaces for stains, water intrusion, or saturated surfaces and walls.
- Detailed photographic documentation, accompanied by precise measurements, illustrating post-storm conditions to facilitate next steps and substantiate claims when applicable.
- Accurate identification of damage types and severity, encompassing wind impacts on roofing, debris-induced window breakage, overturned or compromised sheds, and interior concerns arising from water penetration, including staining or mold growth.
- Expert recommendations for immediate mitigation and restoration, outlining measures to prevent secondary damage such as escalating mold or corrosion. We prioritize safety protocols and cost-effective strategies.
- Professionally structured reports supported by data, formatted for seamless submission to insurers, legal entities, or contractors for estimates.
