Using a real-life hail-related roof claim, you’ll find out how our licensed engineers determine an accurate conclusion through interviews, property inspections, research, and testing.

Some piping materials withstand freezing conditions better than others, though multiple kinds of tubing may be found in the same home, depending on the age and water usage of the structure.

Some materials tolerate the cold better than others, and your policyholders may be at risk for catastrophic losses if their pipes can’t withstand freezing temperatures.

Learn what types of insulation may be present in a home and where you may find each of them when your policyholder files a claim.

The guide outlines how Donan’s process is focused on your needs from start to finish. You’ll also learn which options for submission and reports may work best for your claims.
