Who handles a claim?

A visit across the river

A visit to Gloucester Point crosses the York River by road, and the roofer plans the route and the crew's time on it. The arrival window is confirmed on the call, and the quote shows the travel as its own line.

Water on the river side

A river-side roof at Gloucester Point is checked at its walls and drains for water as well as its covering for wind. Each is recorded with its position.

A caller who knows the crossing time can say so, and the crew plans its day around it.

A Gloucester County reference

Gloucester Point is in Gloucester County, so the county office holds the permit record. The roofer notes the office and the reference, so the file answers a later question without a search.

A dated check on the river side

A dated check at Gloucester Point records the edges, the walls and the gutters on the river side, with the photographs and the storm date kept together.

The river-side walk

On a Gloucester Point roof the walk starts at the river-side edges, moves to the walls and then the gutters, and ends in the attic. The record follows the same order.

At Gloucester Point the roofer checks the water side of each outbuilding as well as the house, since sheds and boathouses close to the river take the same wind and spray.

For the homeowner, the practical point is that the record for this address should be checked each year, with the date written beside each check, so that a later storm can be read against an accurate baseline rather than a remembered one.
