Structural assessment

Identify your property's post-storm state

Storm damage in the Prairies is often silent until freeze-thaw cycles turn minor shingle bruising into interior ceiling decay. Select your observation below:

01 Urgent Category

Active Intrusion & Missing Shingles

Visible exposed underlayment or plywood sheathing, decking penetration, drywall staining, or saturated insulation.

02 Latent Threat

Hail Impacts & Granule Stripping

Roof looks "intact" from ground level, but metal roof vents are dented, gutters hold thick gravel sediment, and downspouts show pitting.

03 Structural Shear

Wind Uplift & Broken Thermal Seals

Shingles lifted by gale-force gusts have unseated adhesive sealant beads, causing creased tabs, loose ridge capping, and perimeter drip-edge deflection.

Current Selected Triage: Emergency Weather Containment

Recommended action: Secure envelope against Prairie rainfall immediately to prevent interior drywall collapse. Insurers require mitigation efforts under standard policy provisions.

The Recovery Blueprint

The 5-Phase Horizontal Recovery Sequencer

From first gust to final agreed workmanship terms, here is the transparent path we execute alongside you and your insurance provider.

Phase 01 roofing

Weather-containment discussion

Requested scheduling of our Winnipeg mobile units to install heavy-gauge reinforced UV poly-tarps over compromised roofing areas, stopping ongoing interior structural damage.

Window: Within 2–6 Hours
chevron_right
Phase 02 biotech

On-Roof Physical Forensic Audit

Our inspectors climb every accessible slope, establishing 10x10 foot test squares, cataloging micro-fractures, shingle granule displacement, and soft metal hail strikes.

Window: Day 1 – Day 2
chevron_right
Phase 03 assignment

Itemized Scope Specification

Conversion of physical measurements and high-res imagery into standardized Xactimate line-item estimates aligned with Manitoba building codes and regional labor rates.

Window: 48 Hours from Audit

Phase 04 group

Adjuster Joint Walk-Through

Our senior roofing technician meets your assigned insurance adjuster directly on your roof to present physical evidence, ensuring no damaged elevation is overlooked.

Window: Coordinated with Carrier

Phase 05 check_circle

Prairie-Spec Reconstruction

Complete teardown, replacement of ice and water shields to cold-region code, installation of impact-resistant impact shingles, and issuance of our agreed workmanship terms.

Window: 1-2 Day Installation
Evidence Substantiation

The Forensic Field Evidence Grid

Insurers approve scopes backed by measurable engineering facts, not opinions. Here is how our appropriately qualified inspectors record physical damages that satisfy insurance technical committees.

verified Winnipeg Regional Archive / Real Field Samples
Evidence Sample: Soft Metal Impact (Vents & Valleys)
Calibrated Caliper: 38.4 mm Dents

Soft Metal Collateral Proof

Thin gauge aluminum exhaust turbines, box vents, and gutter ledges record the undeniable energy and angle of storm impact. We cross-examine shingle spatter with metal cratering to establish irrefutable date-of-loss correlation.

Critical Damage: Shingle Core Rupture

Bitumen Matrix Fracturing

Hail breaks the fiberglass mat inside the shingle. Once granules detach, solar UV rays accelerate asphalt evaporation, leading to premature leaks during Manitoba snowmelt.

Drone Orthomosaic CAD

Photogrammetric Facet Mapping

Centimeter-accurate pitch and square footage calculations prevent disputes over material quantities and disposal volume.

Perimeter Seal Failure

Thermal Seal Delamination

Wind micro-bursts break the factory sealant strip. We perform standard non-destructive lift testing to verify structural hold.
