Photographs taken before any tarping on a San Fernando property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. We see it on San Fernando roofs every week. Partial claims on a San Fernando roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. We do not advise filing a San Fernando claim where the damage is clearly age, given that a declined claim stays on the record. This holds across Los Angeles County. The majority of San Fernando claims that fail do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched in advance of anyone photographed it. Policies covering San Fernando properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. Realistically, a San Fernando adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Los Angeles County is no different.
As a rule, checking the attic once past the soonest heavy wet weather in San Fernando finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. On most jobs, keeping a dated maintenance file on a San Fernando property pays for itself the earliest time a claim is questioned. Los Angeles County is no different. Put simply, clearing the San Fernando gutters in late autumn prevents most of the deterioration the first storm would otherwise cause.
