Roof Load Case Study

While initial construction might adhere to building codes, additions to a house must comply with code updates. In the claim described in the Roof Load Case Study, a contractor installed solar panels on a policyholder’s roof. Three years later, a landscaper noticed that the roof was sagging. The adjuster handling the claim sought Donan’s help to determine the cause of loss and if the sagging was due to the weight of the solar panels.
Find out how Donan’s engineer combined a knowledge of building codes, historical images, and onsite evidence to answer the adjuster’s questions about the cause of loss. Fill out the form to get your copy of this case study.
