What Happens During a Property Damage Assessment?

A property damage assessment identifies and documents visible damage related to a reported loss. The goal is an accurate, well-supported record of what was observed.

The process generally includes a visual inspection of affected areas, photographic documentation, measurement of relevant components, and notes on conditions that may affect repair scope.

Where applicable, the assessment may translate observations into a repair scope or estimate using estimating tools. The scope reflects what is visible and accessible at the time of inspection.

Thorough documentation supports clear communication between all parties and helps the assigning party make informed decisions consistent with the assignment.
