The varying degrees of damage caused by storms to residential roofs require understanding on the part of the adjuster as to the scientific assessment used in determining the loss.  The "Residential Roof Damage Assessment" Distance Learning Module will help the adjuster look at roof losses from the viewpoint of an engineer.

 

The adjuster needs to know the effect of the impact energy of hail and pressured exerted by wind on a residential roof composed of composition, tile, or wood. The module will learn to determine if the condition of the roof is attributable to a weather event, or improper manufacturing and/or installation.

 

Timothy P. Marshall, engineer and meteorologist at Haag Engineering and the module presenter, will also help you learn the DURA formula for counting, extrapolating, and calculating hail damage slope-by-slope.

 

"Residential Roof Damage Assessment" is approved for two hours of CE credit in CA, FL, LA, NH, NC, OK, TX, and WY.  It is also approved for CPCU and RPA.  The module has also been approved for CLE in Florida and Illinois.
