A thorough inspection is the first step of a successful claim process.

But what does it mean to be thorough when first entering the property?

In this week’s excellent education video, Jeromy Leavelle, our commercial claims coach, will share five vital elements for a thorough inspection.

Following these five steps and inspecting the property is crucial for your claims process because:

👉 With a detailed inspection and scope, you can make a detailed estimate.

👉 If you ask a third party to estimate the damages, you will have a detailed document to present to them.

👉 You can learn more about the mitigation measures the homeowners took when the damage occurred.

Take note that you will not always be able to write the estimate and put the proof of loss together just as you return from the inspection.

So your documentation must be as detailed as possible when inspecting the property. Otherwise, you could forget something when writing the estimate!
